Well, I can't compare to the 1/4th mile times as I've never run mine in the 1/4th. I did run mine in the 8th. The first time I ran on the track I ran a 11.2 in the 8th. This was with 33" tires, 4.10 gears etc. I had a Flowmaster exhaust and not sure if I had my Edelbrock air filter or not. It didn't have a lot done to it at the time. Had the crappy factory LSD. I don't think I manually shifted but not positive.
The second time I ran it was years later and it was at a different track. From what I'm told everyone runs slower at this track. I now had a Edelbrock air filter, APS transmission, new exhaust, high flow cat, Hypertech programmer on the performance setting, Auburn LSD, and a few other things. I did have a 33" mud tire as my spare too now which I didn't before and I had 2 12" subs instead of 1 10" that I had before. I think my best run this time was like a 11.48 or something. I had a lot of runs in the 11.7's or 11.8's. I was faster if I manually shifted. I will say though this time I couldn't get it to hook. It wanted to spin leaving the line every time. The last track it didn't spin at all. I'm thinking I'm running slower due to the spinning and the fact that everyone says this is a slower track but honestly I'm not sure. Your 1/8th mile times look pretty good.
Do you have a 4wd? What tires and gears?

Yeah sorry about that. it is 4wd, crappy dry-rotting 245/75/16's, and 3.55's open diff
I just noticed yesterday that there are chunks missing out of my right rear tire in the center tread section. lol... POS tires
