Those KDWS aren't worth a **** at the track either. Not to mention, you're rolling on 17's, so they have no sidewall.

Get some sticky tires, tach her up, and drop the clutch. Keep your right foot matted to the carpet, kick that clutch like it owes you money, and shift that bitch like your trying to pull the tranny up into the car with you.

Your e.t. will drop.

no, on street tires you need get the clutch out only as fast as you can w/out making noise from the tires.

if you spin, your done.

you can go 3000 , but need to slip it until it's going. usually easier to launch off idle, and coax it out.

my buddy has a 94 GT with 3.55 gears and an intake. he ran a 15.0 stock, now he has full headers back with no cats. I'm sure he is in the 14's now. But when he puts the S/C on it will be a little quicker haha

youll see slow times cause your in a mustang, those mustangs are slow, that a average time for a sn95, but even if you dropped your 60ft time, .1 youll run a 14.9, which is where you should be at, you wont get any better than a 60ft of 2.0 on street tires. so the best you could run even if you had a 2.0 is like 14.8 at absolute best...if you want a fast car, turbo, nitrous, supercharger, or a decent H-C-I, then youll run like low 13's....its sad to say, mustangs arent fast stock, and take alot to make fast...smiple solution just buy a 99-02 trans am, theyll run that stock, then go from there lol.
