Got my first timeslip!!! PLease analyze my ET's and give me some advice!!!!
Made it out to the track yesterday, it was so much fun, I think my car is gonna strictly be a 'track car' now.
Anways, got a few runs in and this was my first time out, I started out racing a BPU+ Supra and we both were pretty pathetic newbies. I ran a 14.6 to his 14.4. But we were both having problems with traction, as was everyone else at the track, wheel hop was a considerable problem for me.
But here was my best time, it was my 4th run.....
60' 2.026
330 5.576
1/8 8.492
MPH 86.54
1000 10.964
1/4 13.04
MPH 108.77
*This was at 10-11psi!!!!!
The rest of my runs were all around 13.2 with crappy 60' times but my 1/8 were all about the same.
My mods are in the sig, for some reason I wasn't boosting my usual 14psi, the boost was fluctuating all over the place really, bouncing between 10 and 11.
I'm fairly happy with the time, I think if I get my 60' down and have my normal boost, I am definetely mid 12's material....
Any advice?

Looks great to me. Assuming you were on street tires, your 60' time is very good.
Congratulations!
BTW, I didn't see an aftermarket cat back in your sig. are you still running the stock unit?

I have a GReddy J-spec cat-back, as for my tires, they are the AO32R's(an R compound auto-X tire) I had to lower my pressure to 5psi because the side walls are so damn strong, after I got them heated up pretty well they would hook better but I still got wheel spin.

The 2.0xx 60' times show very nice launching, for a newbie.
I wouldn't recommend dropping your A032R's THAT low just to go drag racing.  You'll end up tearing the sidewall reinforcement due to the sidewalls flexing so much!
If you want serious drag tires, go buy some!  Don't be wasting your other tires trying to get good launch times...
