Default help with my launching

well I will be running in the nopi nationals this comming saturday and sunday. and last time I went to the track my 60ft's sucked or at least I think they do. I have a 88 crx with high cr ls/vtec in it. the car puts down some decient numbers for na anyways I cut 1.9's last time with m&h race masters 22" slicks my time was 13.4@100 I don't think that is horrible just the 60's. I set the 2step @7800 seems to go decient but 60's still suck. Is it my suspension? we just put shims in the rear. any other things you guys do that I don't know about. thanks anything would be helpfull I really have my heart set on 12.8's but ehh we will see.
here is a vid of the last run I got in. so far only 4 passes on the car 2 with slicks http://www.fourgasmmotorsports.com/88crx-13_49.wmv

and just what exactly is a ricer style open header. :1 you think I could lose that much with a flywheel. I was thinkin about bumpin the air pressure in the tire form 12 to say 16 or 17 whacha think.

open header you loose torque, kills the launch.

You need at add a 18-24" section to it to bring the torque back.

Flywheel = stored energy, helps the launch.

WHat rpm are you trapping at in 4th gear? Migth wanna goto a 20x8x14 slick.......then your light flywheel might be OK.

not positive on the rpm but I wanna say around 7k or so maybe just under it. should I try launching at 8500 ? help a little. I have to say though the car doesn't really bog at all. just rips up and goes. I think I will try the 18" pipe thing to see what that does.
