Not much to say...you know the problem

Drag radials!

Also, move somewhere closer to sea level.

You need to not spin the tires off the line. So ride the clutch a little to get it going with out bogging or spinning. Then shift as high of a rpm as you can with hitting the rev limiter.

Same as the others, i'd say you could drop 6-8 tenths off the et if you could launch that thing on a 1.95 60ft, which i'd say is doable as there have been lots of people do it on street tires (auto mostly i'm sure, but my old car ran 12.9's with crappy continental street tires and very few mods). That would put you somewhere around a 13.6(7) or so. Just watch that rear end w/sticky tires

You need to find out the Elevation of the track & calculate the DA everytime you go, being in Vegas i'm sure its high, you can improve on those 60fts., BUT your not going to get as good as you would if you were closer to sea level, meaning not only will the ET & MPH be slower (the higher DA is), but so will the 60ft. times, the car has 13s in it, you may or may not see 1.9 60fts., not on street tires & that Alt., with stickies you should manage it, in any case, just keep practiceing, you'll get there.
