welcome to my nightmare, it never ends
and it starts.... 
Mine is not quite stock, i have a pcIII and a full vance and hines exhaust. It was my first time on the track and i also weigh about 280. I am goin to look into getting a 2-step rev limiter, shinko 003, and the brocks clutch mod. I thought a 10.77 was good for the first time out!

congrats.. i'm in the same boat. went to 1/8mile track last fri night and i think i'm hooked. will def go back next fri. and i'm stock cept pc & tiforce full exhaust. brocks clutch mod, 16 tooth front and speedohealer, and straps for the front are going to be ordered really soon.. i'm already down 1" front, 2" back, and out 6" so that helps a lot. 5 passes and ran a 6.8 1/8 with 1.87 60'. ok for a 1st time out, but i know i can do better next trip out.
I figure once i let my balls drop on the launch i should be hitting low tens, I really think swinging it out a lil and a shinko 003 will help tremendously.

Thats exactly what i hit when first time on track ,and nearly the same number of runs (i had 12) and i know well how hard a hard launch is .
But even 3 runs will make you addicted
lease: i know You dont need to spend much money to get better times.
I only lowered front and rear , 16-41 sprockets ,and a used shinko , clutch mod was still done before. maybe 200 $ for all these mods.
A good shiftlight will help you too ,because there is no more need to look down , but i think GenII has it stock.
A bit seat time and training on lonley roads will be your best investment. I went out with my wife and a stopwatch , only doing launches and the 60ft.
Read about the basics here , put the left foot on the peg and go.
I didnt think i ever could get a 9xx ,but now i know i get it without spending money.............only with seat time
I dropped my time to 10.18 this year on my short GenI and my average is high 10.3
And beleve me ,even my wife is now addicted.

I think a two step would be a wast of $$$$ unless your running a bar.
