Default first time at the track with the t/a

Went with a couple of friends to the track with my dd t/a stock and pulled a today best of 13.997@99.561 with a 60' of 2.287 on all season tires.What do you think i could do with drag radials?I know i couldn't hook so i had to slip the clutch more,but all in all it was fun and the car ran great and i didn't hurt anything.
tks Bram

Hmmm. My girl stock went 13.6 bone stock with a 2.0 sixty foot (I believe) Radials should give you a sub 2.0 sixty foot, specially with a stick (careful with the rear end). Your mph seems a little low too, is your clutch slipping?

I didn't feel my clutch slipping,but its not new and it is my dd.all season tires don't stick at all,summers would stick better and i was dumping at 2000,i'm going back this weekend and i'll slip the clutch rather than dump.1st run i did that day i did 14.1 at 104.Over the winter while she's stored i'll probably do lt headers.
