new times from the strip. opinions needed *edited*

brought my car to the strip today for the second time. clutch is still an issue because i havent installed the rs4 yet. new mods are asp catback and p/p intake. i ran on 93 again.
first run, launched very lightly due to my clutch. spun the clutch a bit, then shifted into second SPUN THE CRAP out of the clutch. rest of the shifts were dead on 62-6300rmp.
time was
60' 2.178
1/8 8.952
mph 81.88
1/4 13.706
mph 104.21
second run i decided to launch at the same rpm, but to let the clutch out a little faster so it didnt slip as much. worked. got a better 60' (barely) but i think because i didnt slip as much the slightly colder clutch held to second a bit better it slipped a bit but only 100-250rpm
60' 2.053
1/8 8.807
mph 81.08
1/4 13.596
mph 103.74
second run i didnt really pay attention to shifts, i dont remember if i shifter at redline.. but i dont think i did.
i was shocked... i truley belived that, even with a crap clutch and dying turbos, the car would have run faster.
my old best with just a chip and intake was (onyl clutch was dying at this point)
60' 1.934
1/8 8.758
mph 80.29
1/4 13.610
mph 101.19
i know my mph improved... but not by what i thought it would. i also know that with the rs4 clutch ill be able to launch much harder and not spin between shifts.
does the mph seem fine? temp was 50. i really thought i would have done much faster.
oh and i edited with a pic for more hits

here
awe slfo, piggy phenolic spacers, bi pipe, greed speed snub, 710n's, asp catback, p/p intake mani,giac x. all runs were on 93, temp was 50.
the first run felt liek the car pulled harder. im guessing i didnt get a 105mph because of the clutch that wouldnt hold.

you should have been in the low 13's with a proper launch, but
i understand about the clutch issues. your sixty times need improving. try for at least 1.8's and that will shave a few tenths off the 1/4 mile times. i have heard that for every one tenth off in the sixty foot equals two tenths down the line.

almost 50k on the clutch
not too many hard launches on my end... im assuming the previous owner had fun with the car though. lol.
my car came with 710n's, darintake, and apr snub.
