help me analyze my run

Well I finally made it to the track. I found a small track not too far away from where I work that only does the 1/8 mile, so I figured it would be a good place to practice launching and whatnot. To make a long story short I fried my clutch, which was starting to show signs of slippage anyways. My launches were horrible, partly me and partly the clutch slipping....my best run looks like this

Reaction: .24
60' 2.28
E.T. 8.46
MPH: 94.25

Can someone plug this into a program and tell me what my et should be and what my 1/4 time should be? Thanks guy I can't wait to go back with a new clutch.

That's a very high 12-second 1/4-mile run there...

If you got 94mph in the 1/8 mile you should get about 124mph in the 1/4 mile.

If you had optimum launch and shifting you should be in the high 11's.

If this is an FD you have about 380+rwhp.

What mods do you have?

94 mph is pretty high for an 8.46, I can see that you had bad launches.

Thanks for the help guys...here is my sig with my mods. I'm thinking that my mph could have been better too, when I looked at my datalog my rpms were rising and falling pretty bad due to the clutch. My launch needs lots of work, I feel confident I can get good launches once my new clutch comes in.
