Even with DR's Somtimes I couldn't get better than a 2.3. My best was 2.0 with DR's. Now I'm onto cheater slicks, maybe you should think about the same. New clutch would probably be first though.

Hoosier quick time pro's are said to be the best cheater slick. Those allow you to run in a DOT class and are close to a real slick but can't be driven on the street. As far as a true slick you have quite a lot of choices M&H, Mickey t's, and Hoosiers are some good choices to go with but you can read reviews to get more specific.

Personally I like to run a 26" tall tire because that's as big as you can really fit in the fender well. And, when you run a tall tire you can leave the car in third gear to about 118.5 @7400. If you go to a smaller tire your going to need to make a shift @ the end. Some may say that the smaller tires gear reducing effect may make up for the extra shift; I don't think so.
