Can't seem to beat pb 60' time...

I went back to etown for the first time since last season. My managed a best of 14.78 @ 93.6 with a 2.35 60'. I took out spare, jack, passenger seat and mats. I had 1/2 tank of gas and was riding on my stock sawblades with new rubber set @ 24psi. Mods are still intake and ypipe. My stock clutch doesn't grab as hard as the last time I've been to the track. I launched at 2k riding the clutch and shifting 1-2 @ redline, 2-3 @ 6.2k, and 3-4 @ 6k. I'm pretty happy with my 93mph traps but my 60' times are really hoding me back. I can see better than 14.7s with a better launch. I can't seem to even get into the 2.2s anymore. Any help?

try riding the clutch out at 3500. or get some real sticky rubber and just dump it.

maybe your tires are wearing out ? im not sure.. with my setup the only way i think i could get a better 60 foot is to launch at a higher rpm. if i hook maybe i could do better.
