First time drag strip, how does this look?

My car is a fairly stock Evo 9. I have a megan 3 inch down pipe, test pipe, and a AMS knock-off catback exhaust, all 3 inch (previous owner bought). It is also equipped with some sort of cheap adjustable BoV (again, previous owner bought). It has adjustable struts with coilovers. I thought it was previously tuned, but it was not.

My tires are balding and all set to 32psi. Stock boost. Set my struts to hard.

My time was:

R/T-.2
60'-2.0
330'-5.6
1/8-8.6
1000-11.2
1/4-13.3
MPH-105.8

I did only 2 runs due to my clutch potentially going out (got talked into it after I was going to take it easy and skip). Removed the spare tire before runs.

Feather launched at 5k. I did spin the tires a little bit. I was shifting 6 1/2 grand (1000 above sea level in Topeka, KS).

How does this look? How much better could I have done (60's looks like I could have done better).

Plans before my next test and tune will be upgrading the clutch, getting a DV to replace the BoV, new tires (and possibly rims), drop a new fuel pump, and get a tune for 22 psi (most likely at the end of this month for all).

Possibly look into injectors and e85 tune soon as well (later this summer)

Thanks for your time.

lower the psi on the tires next time and you should see a better 60ft...
