Default 1/8 mile, turbo sol, first time on slicks

I posted this over in the Drag Racing forum, but i'd like some input from you guys too.

First my setup:

'94 Del Sol VTEC
B16A2 stock internals
SLS Shorty manifold; 3" open downpipe; WG dump
Garrett T3/T04E .63/.60 57 trim @ 10psi
Chinese Bar & Plate IC
Precision 780cc injectors
Walbro 255
E85
ITR Intake manifold
64mm TB
Crome free
Ksport coilovers
Full Race traction bars
Exospeed Racing Wheels
23x8x13 M&H Racemaster slicks

Car weighs 2660 going down the track

Launching at 8200 under preload, Full throttle shifting @ 8500. I can't get it to build any boost off the line, so Crome Pro w/ Gold ROM is my next investment.

1.88 and 1.96 60' respectively on the video, any tips to get it lower are appreciated.

You letting off before the traps? Not bad though...it's just too bad about the hood.

do you have anti-lag? i would sit on it for a little bit, it seems you rev it up and just go

set up anti-lag and sit at the line letting it build up some boost

also whats the tire pressure in your slicks?

i was cutting about the same times in my teg with similar setup with drag radials

Just curious do you have a lsd. Thats pretty much the same setup I have and I was wondering what a set of slicks will do for me. On street tires with no lsd I went 9.2@88 You had a nice run, man I was hoping like hell you'd smoke those v8s good job.

i was sitting on the 2 step for a few seconds in the first vid, you just can't hear it over the mustang. I don't have an anti lag setup, but that is my next investment. The 2nd run i admit i was a bit slow on the rev limiter.

I am using an OBX LSD.

10-11psi in the slicks, my $.99 cent tire gauge isn't very accurate at low pressure. I know i should've lowered the pressure but it seems there is a very fine line between bogging and spinning the slicks halfway down the track. I'm going to 1/4 mile this wednesday so i'll try to work on a few of the suggestions i've got so far.

as far as the banshee.. they actually have a 4 wheeler class at that track becuase there is a gang of banshee dudes that are regulars.. those things are FAST
