Depends I guess... I run 7.8 at my local track. 500ft above sea level with a crappy 1.8 60foot. This was also before my tune.

I'd say mid to low 8's with a good launch? What were your 60fts?

My 60 feet was 2 sec flat. my reaction time on the other hand was 1.2 sec which is bad by alot of people.

Well unless you're doing bracket racing most likely the reaction time isn't counted.

1.2 is awful tho.. It takes some getting used to as far as launching goes.

Kyle, we have a Drag Racing forum. That is where you can go to ask questions about drag racing, and it is also where you can find an abundance of 1/8th-mile times for modded and unmodded Evos. I will request to the mods that this get moved to that forum. Here are my comments:

1) Reaction time has no effect on your ET. In fact, take as long as you want, because you're new and learning, so pay no attention to lights. Concentrate fully on your 60', because that is the most important factor in drag racing, followed 2nd by shifting, and ending with horsepower.

2) For reference, I ran 8.4@80 in my stock 05 - this led to a 13.1@104. You would probably hit a 13.9-14.0 with your 1/8th-mile.

3) Your times will drop dramatically once you learn how to launch, so don't be discouraged by your 8.9.

I'm sure your car can do 8.3 easy - 10.5

I run 8.3 stock catback, 9.8, but with cams, my car also only pulls .378 g's where other cars - less modded 05s pull .475's so I'm willing to bet your car can do like 8.0 with Warrtalon in the seat.
