Default should my 1/8 times be faster than they are????

im trapping 89-91mph in the 1/8th mile, but im usually running it at 8.2-8.5 seconds, all with 60fts between 2.0-2.1ish. i was having a conversation with some friends the other day and it came up that my 1/8 times should be a little better than that. should they?

in the 1/4 im running 12.5-12.8@114-115mph. more info on the car is in my sig.

Seems perfectly normal to me. ET and traps are about right for a drag radial car with that power and weight.

Yeah I would say they sounded about right. Im running somewhere around the same power level as you and times close to yours.

The only time I ever ran on radials at the track I ran an 8.1 at 93mph I think and my runs could have been alot better. My 60' was also either a 2.0 or 2.1 which could have been better as well. I thought I broke my tranny that night on that pass.

ok cool, thanks guys. i think my friend was comparing his car to mine when we said that, and i know he was cutting 1.8 60's which im sure has an impact on it.
