need some traction...That will probably pull you into the low 13's @110 or so...Seems like you need a little more practice, you should pull 12's...Maybe you're auto, then just get a stall and some gears and you should be ok...But definitely some drag radials

I've never cut below a 2.0 on street tires. Usually for every tenth cut off your 60ft you'll lose .2 in the big end. Get your 60 down to a 2.0 or so and you'll be looing at low 13's. To get a good 60 ft on street tires w/ M6 you have to be willing to slip your clutch alot. Tach up around 2500 rpms and slip the clutch, don't drop until you feel the tires bite and then hit the throttle. This takes lots of practice and is hell on your clutch but the only way to launch on street tires. HTH
