venumus93 - I looked through your post again and just wanted to provide a few more comments/details on why I think your times aren't that bad....

1) 3.08 gears. The 3.55's will definately help out at the track, the 3.73's even more. I have 3.55's in my LX and love them. A great bang for the buck mod.

2) Your 60' times are about as good as mine (ie they are not that great). But you are launching on street tires which makes it even more difficult. A 2.0 60' will really bring down your ET (2 tenths better at the beginning of the track could be as much as 4 tenths at the end!)

3) The weather conditions were less than ideal and you still managed a 98 mph. Not bad at all.

4) 99K is not too bad either. There are guys on this site with 160K + miles and still running strong! You may need a good tune-up (plugs, wires, cap & rotor, oil change, fuel filter, etc.).

Keep practicing, and if I were you, I would definately get those gears installed. You will love them.

Good luck, E
