1/8 to 1/4 mile contest

Below is a picture of my 1/8 mile time slip. This pass happened on Sept 6th in Gleenwood, IA @ MAM around 8PM. I am goin to KRPI in Kearney, NE to run their 1/4 mile drag strip. I'll be making passes around 3-6 PM tomorrow (Saturday Sept 27th). Based on my 1/8 mile Time slip, what ET and MPH do you think I will finish at? My car is unchanged since my last 1/8 mile pass. Same power, same mods. If you can guess my best ET & MPH correctly (ET to the 1/10 of a second and the correct MPH) Ill send you some free stickers. For example: if I run a 15.82 @ 90.65, and you guessed 15.8 @ 90 MPH, you win the stickers! For the heck of it, let's see your best guess. GO!!

So far, none of you guys are correct. Let's just say i was very pleased with my time and MPH considering I was only able to run 3 passes as there was a lot of class racing happening and Test N tune was barely squeezed into the event. I've changed the rules in my first post to reflect how you should submit your guess in your post. All you need to have correct is ET (to the tenth) and MPH. Example: 15.5 @ 91 MPH. Submit as many guesses as you would like. Someone is getting some stickers!

HINT: throw your 1/8 to 1/4 mile calculators in the garbage

Really wish I knew what tires you're using for these runs. Based on the 60' time, I'm guessing it wasn't slicks.

This is the closest so far. My ET is faster and MPH is faster. I'm using Conti DWS all season tires. My 60ft is about 1/10 faster on this track than the other.

If so, I'm really impressed. You seem to have it running well and apparently dialed in.
Also impressed you're doing it with the SS's 5 speed.

LawDog88 should be disqualified for that "no faith" 1st guess he made.
