Well my mods are listed in sig, I don't understand why you are so slow. I have run 13.02 at 110 mph and I have alot less mods than you.
Are you power shifting, what RPM shift?
I powershift at 6000 I launch at 3000 dumping the clutch,on 14 lbs Nitto DRs, I bog a little then get going.
Hope that helps.
