Thanks to all of the suggestions on how to get the best results from my 4spd overdrive SC. Last June it ran a blazing 8.89 in the 1/8 @ 74 mph. Ever since it's been running pretty much 9.8 and it didn't make any sense. Here's what I found out. Turn both the overdrive and the traction controls off. 235x60x16 Yocohoma psi down to 22 and launched at 1850rpm. It left a little rubber behind but made it throught the 1/8 at 9.2 and 72mph. The only thing I forgot was 93 or 94 octane. Damn, I had too much fuel (3/4 tank) and it was my daily driving fuel 89 octane. I've been told that the increased octane would have brought me right back into the 8.8 range again.

Thanks for the advice guys!

95 pearl white/ gray leather K&N, air silencer removed, Flow Master Delta's and a Trans Go shift kit. Looks very stock but bested a 95 Cobra twice this past Saturday and the guy had to leave...because the crowd laughed at him!
 
did i understand you right, you use 89 octane? you shouldnt be using anything buy 91 or higher.
