The journey to HP has started. Need some opinions on track times.

Track was 95 degrees and 100% humidity. Altitude 669 ft above sea level.

Car has a flowmaster and moroso cold air induction. Car is giving SES light for O2 sensors and hasnt had a tune up in a while as far as I know. I have a new fuel filter, 2 O2 sensors, plugs, and pcv valve. Going to install these and do the TB coolant bypass tomorrow. Once its running right and I feel confident its up to par im going to take it to the dyno and see what it makes. From that baseline i'll see what my new mods will do. For those who dont know the plan do a search for the posts I made about 1.7 RRs on LE1 heads with stock cam. Now onto the question.

2.261 60ft
9.391 1/8th
77.15 mph

Think with better weather and getting the car up to par as far as running properly I can squeeze 80mph?

No ideas on where the power for the car could be?

yes---heat, humidity and elevation are your enemies.

Exactly that heat and humidity killed you. 80mph in the 1/8 sould be no problem that is basically what a well maintained Lt1 will do stock. I would also bet you are leaving some on the table, so do a good tune up. In GMHP they did basic "up keep" and picked up 11rwhp on the same dyno.
