Go on a saturday... wednesdays suck and a well prepped track makes a huge difference. several weeks ago i was up there on a wednesday with DR's and full bolt ons in my 98 cobra and was running 14.1's all night...

came back that saturday and my FIRST run was a 13.56

second run was a 13.45

third was a 13.33.... then they finally kicked me out for not having a helmet. lol

Yeah, low gears and street tires DO NOT MIX!
That's probably why you are spinning so much. your mph seems a bit slow? have you ever cleaned your imrc plates? those could be slowing you down (if there is enough carbon build up.)
2.1s is not that bad. Just keep practicing. Or better yet!! get some MTs!!!! I used to get 1.7s and i was a shitty drive.(it's all in the tire man!!)
Keep on running that beast, she'll be docile in no time.
