I2 5.95
I3 9.15

MPH 98.45

my car is a 1990' lx coupe 5 speed. my mods are: 3.73's, cold air, underdrive pullies, bbk shorty headers. so I was wondering, am I about where I should be [Confused]

Depends,

Sticky tires and launch off the rev limiter and you can go low 13's. For stret tires and milder driving it looks OK, should be able to hit 13's w/ a better 60ft and powershifting.

yeah, the runs were made on street tires, I was thinking there might be a high 13 in the car, if I powershifted it.. next time out I will give it a try
