are these decent times for the 1/8th?

i ran at the 1/8 tonight. first time at the track, no 1/4 mile here so thats what i had to work with

my best run was 9.909 at 75.091 mph and my 60 foot was 2.310
second best run was 9.939 @ 74.688 mph and my 60 was 2.282
and another 60 ft was 2.290 but i shifted way to early into 3rd and only ran 10.123

is this decent for a 07 stock si?

Yea you MUST powershift 2nd. You probably felt a slight loss in power hitting 2nd right? If you shift at 8300 it'll bring you down under 6k RPM close to dropping out of vtec so you really have to hit 2nd hard.
