I ran 11's with less than 400whp that would be easy at your power levels.

There is a STICKY race track locator at the top of this page btw

It depends on traction and how good you are with the clutch. I know experienced guys launching at 5k plus on a good track and good skills.

You are using a road race tire for drag racing. If you are serious about putting down some good times, you should get another set of wheels/tires for the rear.

Post a slip. That is a horrible trap for the power level. We need more details to help you out!

I will not criticise your time. You are new at drag racing. I am sure that you gave it your best. We have plenty of 477 horsepower dyno queens here who could not run 13.4 seconds if their life depended on it.

OK, well you know the 60ft needs work

What pressure in tires?

Did you do a quick spin of the tires after going AROUND the water box?

Did you shift at redline?

You need to be your worst critic. Thats how I got better at driving Id critique myself until I felt I couldnt possibly shift any faster. Get back out and run better times they wont get worst than your first time
