Nice I went about a week ago and only got a 13.6@ 104 but it was my first. What I have found out these cars live to launch in the higher rpms. When I went I was launching at 4K and feathering. Like evreyone tells me just get to know your car and the feel for it.

To correct wheel hop...order some new lower control arms...the stock ones are very flimsy and weak (just stamped metal)...get some BMR or Steeda LCA and that wheel hop will be gone...

If you plan on lowering your car...get the relocation bracket while your at it...
