Default Time slip help please

I went to the track the other night after putting in my 4.10's and was a little disappointed by the results. Traction on street tires was a major issue as you can see by my 60 foot times. I just picked up a set of BFG drag radials to help. Any idea what I'll run on the drag radial with lower 60 foot times. Here is the info from my runs. I would to break into the 12's. Thanks for your feedback!!
Run 1 2 3 4
R/T= .803 .661 .727 .578
60'= 2.206 2.17 2.390 2.171
330= 5.912 5.847 6.059 5.892
1/8= 8.970 8.861 9.051 8.966
mph= 82.18 81.92 82.79 80.14
1000= 11.578 11.409 11.567 11.566
1/4= 13.748 13.587 13.786 13.788
mph= 105.83 104.44 99.50 102.75

4.10 gears a 6-speed and street tires is a good combo for tire spin! The drag radials if you can hook and drop your 60 foots to at least a 2.00 you'll probably find the 13.20 range on ets. If you can dip even lower into the 1.9 range some teens could be possible.

Good luck!

Practice,practice,practice. thats the best thing you can do to get that 60ft down and those 1/4 mile numbers in the 12's.
I ran 13.24 @ 104 dead stock. A4's are much easier to 60ft(stock for stock). Get some track time and you will amaze yourself.
Good luck
