Ran my 89 RS 305 TBI
I was out at Albuquerque National Dragway with the DA reaching 7500 feet.
60 ft- 2.4x
1/8- 11.1
1/4 17.34
MPH- 80.4
I would only go through my first two gears(700R4+2.73's). I was shifting at about 4600 rpm. The car seemed to run best when it was hot about 210+ degrees.
I am not sure what the corrected times are for sea level, but I think it did ok for 164,000 miles and only mods are KN filter and flowmaster muffler, shift kit, vette servo. I was running 255/60 R 15 tires in the back with no wheel spin.

Did you base yur 4600 rpm shifts on the stock tach? I would take it much higher. The stock tachs are so far off you can gain so much in your ET's by letting it go a tad higher. The best way to varify how much your tach is off is with a scan tool.

You're running pretty good for a stock motor, stock running gear.
And you're running about the same as I do, mine wants to shift out of second right before it gets to the 1/4 mile traps.
