Default Your opinion please

I went to the track Friday night and it was extremely cold. This resulted in major traction problems. Traction was so bad the second gear shifts just about caused be to change lanes. My results were as follows:
r/t = .613
60 = 2.390
330 = 6.059
1/8 = 9.051
mph @ 1/8 = 82.97
1000 = 11.567
1/4 = 13.786
mph = 99.50
What do you think I'll run on slick?

It's a m6 with 3.42. I'm leaving the line at 2000 rpms. During the summer I ran a 13.5 but even then my 60 ft was an abismal 2.2. Keep in mind this was on the stock 245/50/16 GS-C I just picked up a set of 255/50/16 BF Drag Radials. My goal is to break into the 12's.
