Drag Strip Venture
Went at the last minute on stock rims and run flats (bad choice). Had to turn the car down and leave on traction control...still plenty of wheelspin...

He was referring to the 60 foot mark, not 60MPH.
Wheelspin on the run flats was the deciding factor...next time on 225/40/17 Bridgestone RE71Rs should make a difference. Predicting a 13.9?? at 104 if everything goes right...
With 225/40/17 Bridgestone RE71Rs and a WaveTrac LSD...I think it will be faster

Not saying it can't be done. How many runs did you do in your current setup to get to this best time.. If adding better tires and the LSD after these times that will be a big help compared to just changing tires...
I am guessing your MPH will be about the same, only difference being the ET. Your MPH, even with wheel spin is an indication of HP, while ET is more of an indication of traction. Back when I used to drag race my Mustang, I was always playing with my cam timing to find the particular 'sweet spot' for the particular weather conditions. While I would watch the change effect my ET's, my MPH would always remain pretty steady. Best time I had on that car was 13.7@100mph with a 1.8 60ft, but that is RWD and on slicks/skinny's. I think your ET of 13.9 is pretty close with the cheater RE-71R's with FWD. I am currently running RE-71R's on my Mustang and they are as good, if not better than the drag radials from back in the day for traction.

My 1979 Mazda RX7 SCCA ITA car would do 14.0 @100mph time after time...2200# ~175hp
My 1987 RX7 Turbo SCCA ASP car would do 12.7 @ 100+mph time after time...2600# ~370+hp
