Don't take this the wrong way but IMHO you could easily go a tenth (or more) faster by modifying your driving style. It's also cheaper than buying a another part.
Good Luck!

From our experiences, I don't agree with shifting it any higher than 5250rpms. Now it might work for UNDRDOG, but on my 95GT, and my dad's 91GT, we both turned 1-2mph slower shifting at 5500 or higher when our cars were stock. But, like UNDRDOG said, you've received so good advise, put all them together, and you're there. And as was already said, for now, till you get more practice, launch like you're leaving a stop light.
P.S.- When I was running 15.02 at 91.5mph in my car, bumping the timing from 10 to 13* netted me three 14.96's in a row, so this alone given everything else (like the weather) is the same, will net you you're 14 second slip
UNDRDOG- Do you race at Keystone? I'm there every week in my 95 canary yellow convertible (though I haven't been running for a few eeeks due to a T-5 that's on its last leg), my dad is there in his white 12 second 91GT, and my mom spectates in her '01 BULLITT. If you see us there come on over and say hello!
