Default Bad day at the track... :(

Ive come to the conclusion that I am the worlds worst driver. I was excited today about getting some track time after my headers, ASP pulley and BFG drag radials. MAN was I surprised at how well these things hook. It really caught me off guard...just check out the 60 ft's
1st run
60-2.44 <-- BOG <img border="0" alt="[cry]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cry.gif" /> 2500 clutch dump
1/4-13.5@109

2nd run
60-2.37 <--- BOG <img border="0" alt="[cry]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cry.gif" /> 2500 clutch dump
1/4-13.27@110.9

3rd run
60-2.2 <---3000rpm clutch dump
1/4-13.11@110.16

4th run
60-2.19 <---slip clutch at 3000 <img border="0" alt="[cry]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cry.gif" />
1/4-12.99@110.6

I know theres another .3 tenths left in that 60', but I cant seem to get it down to 2.0 I was getting with the RS-A's. Even if i do manage to pull a good 60', that .3 would only leave me with 12.6x's, basically the same thing friends car was doing with the same mods but WITHOUT headers, and he was trapping at 112 too....where the hell is my top end??? Im really frustrated...Ill be back up there next sunday with my RSA's hoping to get some 2.0x 60's again and maybe some 12.7x's and to get a 112 trap speed. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
