Default Just got back from the track

I had a problem with my launches. On 2 of them, I spun the tires all the way through first gear. On one of them I had a .014 R/T! (BTW, 15.325E/T @ 92.12 was my best timestock) I ended up with faded brakes at the end of my 5th run though. I was thinking about putting slotted rotors, but I want to do the 5-lug conversion first. Any ideas as to how much that will cost?

Yeah, my best 60' was 2.306, but this was also my first time running this car. I've only been driving it for about 3 weeks.
