If you now do some chassis work you could be running in the 13's big time and probably over 100.
I think the lowering springs are hurting you more than helping you.
Get some 4 cyl or Moroso springs and some struts on the front that are 90/10 and some rear 50/50's with some real tires and see what happens.........

look into getting a shift kit and torque converter for the car and you will be a lot happier. You did real good job for being your second time to the track. Get those 60' times down and you will be seeing better numbers
