Good run,I think you need to bring up that bottle pressure, looked like you were running on the rich side, shows by the mph should have been a little higher, good to see some bottle runs.

i'm not an expert but most guys on street tires drop the psi way down. like anywhere from 18-24psi. MY own personal theory is that it allows the tire sidewall to absorb the initial shock on launch, and changes a "resonance frequency" in the tire. this is just MY mind working on the subject....but most of us agree lower pressures help eliminate the hop.
the 60 foot shows you're probably launching at too high an rpm and just spinning valuable time away. i also would suggest stickier tires, soon. for once you get used to babying the launch on street tires, you'll kill the motor first time @ the line on slicks. ask me how i know. :o good luck and have fun

Nice improvement. Mid-high 13's very possible with some grip with your current setup imho.

Easy 13 second car on slicks. Very nice bro, Id suggest, if your gonna run on street tires, to launch the car with out spray, start spraying 2nd gear..jus my 0.02 tho

Whenever you do spray 1st gear, it's going to spin street tires. Whatever rpm that may be.

well if you are spraying first it most deff isnt helping your 2.4 60'. your car is trapping 13 second mph times. you need to play with your launch. i still suggest you try launching without nitrous, and maybe a little more agressive instead of rolling it out. Jus my 0.02 tho. GL
