Default Driver mod tips? 1/4

Last night I took the Vette up to Royal Purple Raceway and attempted a couple passes, long story short I was disappointed with the 13.6 I ran. I was wondering if there were any tips anyone could provide me?

I rolled through the water box (spun the tires to get them dry, didn't do an actual burnout) and launched around 2k with traction control on with the gear selector left in 3rd (The car is a stock '97 C5 with a Yank 3600 stall converter).

Just looking for tips to better my driving skills. Oh, and here is the pass on video:
