This was my best run of the day...had a hell of a time with traction on the stock Pirellis. Next time I'm going to drop the tire pressures a bit, having them at 35psi surely didn't help.
100% stock. My goal is to hit 13 flat before modding.

R/T .225
60' 2.310
330' 5.933
1/8 8.805
MPH 85.75
1000 11.301
1/4 13.396
MPH 107.74

Nice run!
60' time is high. Knock 0.2 sec off it, and you should attain your goal.
Lowering the tire pressure, slipping the clutch, more seat time will help.

Those are impressive times for Fontana on street tires. Fontana + Street tires= no hooking and almost never sub 2.0 60'. I wouldn't waste my time trying to get 13.0. I would go ahead and get some drag radials or other sticky tires.

That's the plan. Launching at anything over 2000 rpm on these tires induced massive wheelspin. On my 2nd of 3 runs, I tried launching at 3000 rpm, and had a nice 2.7 60'.

2.1 60ft should definitely get you there. I never ran mine at the 1/4 stock but I ran a 8.4 @ 86 mph in the 1/8th completely stock.
