is it me or the tires??

last night i ran a best of 14.1 @ 101mph and a 60' of 2.3 in the 1/4 mile. but i have tires that cant grip that good, they are remington tires. you guys can see the mods i have at the bottom, i believe i should be hitting at least 13.9 in the 1/4. the tires do spin a lot. if i get nitto drag radials will this put my into the 13s? im pretty sure im launching at the tires full potential. do these times sound right with the mods i have and crappy tires?

i'd say about 75 or 80 degrees, and medium humidity, keep in mind i am in south florida, but what about the tires? could it be the lost of grip from crappy tires?
