1/4 mile run, am I on track?

I just tried my second ever 1/4 mile run with my evolution tuner. It is pretty cold tonight and my baby is always peppy in the cold, so on my way home from work I went to my secret spot. I have a cold air intake, flow master dual cat back and the evolution set on program 2, oh and I did it in 4 wheel drive this time because the first time I just sat there spinning the tires not to mention a horrible reaction time. These are my new numbers: reaction time 1.15s. 1/8 mile - 10.26s @ 70.2mph. 60ft - 2.49s @ 28.9mph. 1/4 mile - 15.97s @ 85.9s. I think my first 1/4 mile was 18s on the dot so I atleast shaved a little over 2s off.

Actually very solid take off, I've go some pretty grabby tires and the truck just tracks straight. I have a hard time even in the snow trying to squirl around. I did notice that in 4 wheel drive the truck didn't rev up as much as 2 wheel drive because it shifted earlier. In 2 wheel drive I red line it constantly when I floor board it. The evo really woke this truck up especially the shifting. The truck was a dog before, I'm glad ford is scrapping the junk 4spd.
