I would guess low 8s. Reason: I ran a best of 15.2 here with a density altitude of about 7500 feet. I'm thinking I lost most of my time on the top end in third gear where it just plain ran out of air. So, I'm going with low 8s.

The times are all slow here in Houston. The combination of "summer blend" gas thats forced upon us, and hot weather, keep the performance down. The gas this time of year just does not have the same power density, that normal gas, gas we can only buy from November to April does. The weather is keeping the density altitude in the 3000 to 4000 ft range. Quite a performance hit!!

That's good for the first time and your setup. Next time you can lighten the load/tire pressure and the times will get better.
