thanks for the input,i have a update,with about 22 psi and heating the hell out of the nitto drag radials and left at around 2500 rpm,s it hooked pretty good,im getting better with a 60 ft. 1.8 and 12.7 in the quarter at a slower 109 mph.
and i dont know if it makes a difference,but i had my a/c on,it was hot that day,lol
