Didn't see it mentioned anywhere but you did have traction control turned off, right?
Just for reference, my '99 FRC went 13.2@108 with a 2.0 60'. That was with a 1500'DA.
Mods are a cat-back and the zip-tie mod.

Actually after comparing our timeslips, you're within 1mph of me at the 1/8th but I pick up 8mph more than you in the 1/4. So either your 2-3 shift is a little slower or there's definitely something wrong with your car.
Hopefully your old plugs and wires were the problem.

I held the revs between 25-3000 and quickly slipped the clutch while giving it more gas. It spun the tires just a couple of revolutions before it hooked up, when I felt it hook I went full throttle.
I've only been to the strip a couple of times with this car so I'm still working on it.
