Dragy GPS Performance Meter

I purchased a Dragy GPS Performance Meter as I wanted a way to do some level of baseline testing before I started making modifications to the car.  At this point, it is stock with a few exceptions.  Those are that is has a full header back exhaust system and a cold air intake.  The cold air intake is a cheap SVE version that has a small generic filter on it.  The exhaust is a BBK equal length shorty header, 2.5 midpipe with H, and then a Flowmaster 40 cat back setup.

I was largely growing familiar with the tool so I don't know that my runs are really fully representative of what the car could do.  I had the A/C on low the whole time, an 1/8 tank of gas, and it was a morning which wasn't sunny and 84 degrees.  I didn't particularly find smooth roads and just stopped and when to about 60 MPH.  

I left at 2,000 RPM and went to 5,000 RPM.  My best was a 2.96 second 0-30, a 7.98 second 0 - 60, and a 10.4 second 1/8 mile.  That really isn't fast at all.  That leads to an estimated quarter mile time of 16.1-16.6 seconds.  I'll try it again on another day without the A/C on and I'll see if it is any better.  This was my best of three runs and it was also the last run.  I think the first few I was just getting the hang of it a little. 

Once I've tested a bit in the '93, I'd like to test a bit in the '67 and see how fast they are relative to one another.
