First time 1/4 mile, this seem about right?

2018 1SS A8. Car has a rotofab Cai with dry filter and a catch can, but otherwise stock. 1400~ DA, 290 pound driver, half tank of gas and pretty strong headwind. Tire psi was at 28 psi. I lowered it to 22 but it seemed to spin worse so I put it back to 28.

60 foot - 1.980
1/8 - 8.024 @ 90.99
1/4 - 12.313 @ 114.22

Ran several 12.3x and 12.4x but the one above was the best. I started to spin towards the top of 1st gear and I think I was feeling wheel hop.

This all seem about right for the conditions?

It's a good start. I would mess around with launching technique and tire pressure more. You could shave a .1 off your 60', which is roughly .2 off you 1/4 mile ET.

I just had my stock SS 6SPD manual car at the track for the first time. Ran a 12.489 @115 with a 2.089 60ft. Not much headwind, about 80 degrees, 1/2 tank of fuel, I only weight about 160lbs. I'd say you are where you should be, with some more runs maybe shave another tenth or two off.
