Default What should I Trap?

I went to the track on wen after installing my true duals and was surprised with my times one of my runs was. 13.04 @ 111 with a 2.17 60 ft this was at 2500da in a full weight 6 speed car with the mods listed.

I have to granny shift a bit into 3rd and 4th. I think I need to try the drill mod. The clutch shows no signs of slipping up top.

Are my trap speed abnormally low for my car? What should I trap at? BTW I know my 60ft sucks It was only my second time out.

Tires are brand new so thats out. I cant see picking up 5mph from my tune the A/F was right on when he tuned the car. It seems to run great. Its got fresh plugs and wires I cleaned the maf sensor, air filter and no check engine lights.
I have to baby it into 3rd and 4th a bit because of clutch hydraulics acting up could having to shift a bit slow cause me to trap so low combined with the bad 2500 DA.

The better your 60ft time the more MPH u will get.My 02 SS a4 went from 13.02 @106.10 w/2.03 60ft to 11.88 @ 113.39 w/ 1.63 60ft so i p/u 7mph just by improving my 60ft time.

without a awesome suspension set up nittos (even new) are not that much better than a good street tire. go with a mickey or hoosier.
