what times with 112 mph in the 1/4?

i ran my car at the drag strip and it did 13.2 @ 112 mph with a 2.15 ft. The run was done on street tires (18s) and a stock slipping clutch. i'm doing 360whp and 310 tq.
what would the car do with traction? because i was spinning thru first and had to let off in second because the car started to fishtail and i almost hit the car next to me.
thanks

350 rwhp is good enough for high 11s at 116-117 mph on drag radials - low-mid 12s on street tires. With that hp your trap speed should be up even though you ran a 13.2 - your 60 foot is pretty decent with street tires. If you run stock rims with even Nitto drag radials you'll lower your time by a second.

i forgot to mention that i live at 3200 ft above sea level also. so cars tend to run slower here. some of my friends lost about .6 secs off their time when they went to sea level.

I'm up in fort worth most weekends hanging out with steve kan and the rx7 crew up there. I just checked Mapquest, and lubbock isn't too far from fort worth. It you'd like to meet up one weekend, shoot me a PM....

I ran 116 @12.8 with a bad 60'time 2.2 on drag radials ???
The worst part is that a tt supra next to me ran a 12.2 @118 with a 1.9 60'time.
A lot of it is all in the 60'time as I had run prior a 12.3 @ 114 with a 1.8 60'time
I have over 35 runs on drag radials w/o any drivetrain problems except clutch.I think when you go to slicks you may invite problems but it would be great to have a no brainer holeshot.......@6000 rpms vs.
3500-4000...................
