Default Just went to the track last night!

So i went to the track, havent been since i got my CMCV deletes and Upper and lower control arms. Also i dont have my 4.10s anymore. I ran better than i ever have without the 4.10s (.4 difference, nice not having to shift into 4th). BY THE WAY... CONTROL ARMS KICK ***!!!!
Here are my slips, im number 28

I know i should be running better for my mods, but im about to be 20 and ive only been to the track a few times in my life, i do better every time i go.
If anyone has any tips, go for it.
FYI, top left was me and my friend who also has a GT but its bone stock except an axle back, it was his first time to ever be at a track (60 shows his burnout , his best run for the night was 14.1, not bad for his first time to the strip. Top right was my friend in a 06-07 WRX with a few mods, his best run was 13.6 or 13.7 i think. and i dont know what the bottom left was but he red lit and raped me in the 1/4.
My friend who recently got a whipple pushing around 444 has an auto with nitto 555r's ran a 12.20!
ADVICE PLEASE! I WANT TO HIT 12'S NEXT TIME

Why did you get rid of the 4.10s? You need some drag radials 2.0x 60's are FTL

The 4.10 install went bad i guess... they were whining horrible and couldnt be fixed, so i got 3.55 again.
Yeah the 60 foot felt really good when i was in the car, one of them i got 1.9 but it was almost a 2.0
I do plan on getting some kind of drags, not sure what, i kinda want the Mickey Thompson Street radials or the nitto 555r.
Should i do that or just get a spare set of rims with actual slicks.

Yea that's really good. As close to sea level as most of us will ever get.

Get some spare cheapo 15" rims and get some MTs or something. Don't waste your money on the fail555Rs.
