First time at the dragstrip, what do you guys think?

My car is a 1996 formula firebird. the only mods i have are the throttle body bypass, a cold air intake, and a pro 5.0 shifter. what do you guys think of my times and how can i improve?

2.23 60ft
5.95 330ft
9.04 1/8 ET
79.77 1/8 MPH
11.70 1000 ET
91.59 1000 MPH
13.94 1/4 ET
101.12 1/4 MPH


most of my runs were between 14.1 and 14.3 @ 100mph, my best run was my last run of the night. how is that for a pretty much stock LT1?

Looks to be about average for what you have done.
Good luck in the future

Re: First time at the dragstrip, what do you guys think?

Those look like pretty good numbers to me. When I had just a TB bypass, Flowmaster cat-back, and CAI I couldn't do better than an 9.35 @~79. Now I'm running times in sig. It sounds like you have a strong running car. Work on that 60 foot and your time will improve a few tenths. The best traction mod I did was boxing in my LCA's. It cost maybe $5 and half an hour welding, but my wheelhop is GONE.
