In those conditions for your first few runs and with the mods you have I have to say that that time is really good. After getting my technique down, and perfect weather I eeked out a 8.22(I think) when I was AWD. After dropping to RWD and putting on straight pipes I got a 7.92.

Now that's a shift Mike Bailey would be proud of. 
. I kid, I kid Mike.
8.4s with your mods, that's very good.

Are you entirely sure they are stock K16s or are they billets or 16gs? Has the car been significantly lightened?

Thanks Gents 
Car was AWD, no spare (never carry one), about 15-20ltrs of fuel. Decklid is heavier than an OEM one, and the brakes also I suspect.
8.22s time should be achievable, faster shift, new rubber, cooler conditions. Might even start treating it to a dash of Methanol in there, have about 75 litres sat in the garage.
To be honest the car was purchased as it is. Not 100% sure about anything other than what was declared on the sale (500bhp fly, exhaust, map). There is nothing to suggest otherwise, all the other mods (sus/brakes) are as the guy said.
Traps at 123mph on the drag.
If there is any (easy) way to ID the turbos, I will check?

Bob you've shifted really early into 4th..... at just over 80mph ? That must be well before 6000rpm ??
It was a 3rd to 4th shift yes ?
If you're just running K16s with map and exhaust then thats an amazing time tho....
