Default 60ft times

What is the best way to improve my 60ft times? I ran 110 in the 1/4 mile this weekend and only ran a 13.3. My buddies told me at 110 i should be in the 12's. Is that true?

I plan on ordering a pair of 315 DR this winter and some subframe connectors...should that improve it quite a bit. will the subframe connectors help with wheel hop?

If you have wheel hop you need better suspension. Subframes are good for 2 things, 1st they keep you from permenenty twisting the chassis(if you have enough power to do so), or possibly breaking stuff, cracking paint etc, 2nd they keep the body straighter during launch(metal likes to bend) and give you better power transfer. Why use energy to twist the car when you can use it to go down the track

I have tokico drag struts and eibach sportlines. My struts are adjustable, do you think adjusting them would help much?

Upper and lower control arms and set of good drag radials will be the best ticket to better 60's.
