Thumbs up New times this weekend!

Although I cant get off the line hard at all, I have been getting much better reaction times, and set a new PB for MPH. Internally stock, with 110 000km on it. It has a flowmaster catback, ram air hood, and edelbrock headers. Star stg III clutch, Ripper shifter, and an Eibach Sportline spring kit. I made all my runs on 17x9.5 Fittipaldi's with 275/40 Firehawk SZ50's.
Here's the basics of my two best runs. (back to back, 2min apart)
13.801 @ 105.8 2.19 60'
13.902 @ 106.1 2.29 60'

There was a decent headwind, and temps were in the Mid/high 20's (celcius) Humidity was about 80% (give or take a bit)

I need to get some control arms and brackets, cause when my car starts to hook it starts to hop like hell. Anyone want to suggest what I might run if I can get some traction off the line, with a 1.9-2.0 60' ??
Comments, suggestions?

General rule is to subtract 2/10ths 1/4 mile time for every 1/10th 60 foot time you cut out.

Good times man!

You can see my times in my sig...........I had the same MPH as you, but quicker E/T..........if you could get your 60' down, you'd be in the low 13's. Still, 13.8 is damn respectable IMO.
