New time in my auto (well actually not new but opinions wanted)

This actually isnt a new time (ran this in Dec) @ Island Dragway (1/4 mile strip). I am curious to see what everyone's opinion on my car & the new times i can possiblily hit. I will post my 1/8 mile times, not my 1/4 mile as i havent reached my goal. My time is as follows:

r/t - .578
60ft - 2.33
330 - 6.10
1/8 - 9.15
mph - 80.15 mph

This is with getting wheel hop in first, and spinning into 2nd gear. Yes this is possible on auto Maximas.

Since then, i have dropped about 20lbs off my rims, dropped the RSB, will be removing only the front seat, running wider tires/rims.

Just curious to what some of you guys think i will be able to pull in the 1/8 & 1/4. BTW - I usually pull 2.2 60fts.

I think you should go with slicks to do away with your traction issues Synki.

i say high 13s with a lower 60ft. are you running with drag radials? if you are, you still have traction problem? hm...if that's the case, like deezo said, maybe it's time for slicks.

I am running on street tires when i was pulling 2.2 & 2.3 60fts. I think it is time for DR's. I still spin a little on launch but when the juice kicks in, i need 2 hands to hold the wheel straight and it spins through 2 gears.
