Angry Just got back from the track and I think somethings wrong

Well I made it to the track for the first time since the header installwhich was about 2 months ago, well my best time ever is 13.2@104 with a 1.99 60', tonight all I could get was a 13.32@106.98 with a 2.10 60'. I need drag radials bad, I spun in first and no matter where I shifted I spun all trhough 2nd and chirped in 3rd, I even shifted at 4500 rpms once and still spun bad in second. And im not a bad driver people I know at the track let me drive thier cras too get the best time.

But the problem was towards the end of the night when I would make my pass and it was time to hit the brakes there was some extreme vibrations in the front end, it felt like the wheels or the stering wheel was going to come off, but only at the high speedswhen I would slow down to about 85 and slower it was fine. Now my brakes and rotors are pretty bad and it always has some vibration when stopping but would it make it THAT bad?

Thats what I thought too but I didnt know that it would be that bad, I knew a little vibration could happen but this was pretty fierce. Thanks for the replies.

Definitely the front rotors. Pick up a new pair or have those turned.

Also, the time improvent doesn;t look too bad. Although, you lost some time you did pick up almost 3 mph. Can't complain about that!
