Default Help Launching??? Bad first time drags...

I finally went to the drags for the first time, and WOW- compleatly different than the street. I ran 3 times, and all three sucked.

Car: 96 GSR w/ AEM sri, Greddy 4-2-1, Magnaflow Cat-back, Toyo 205/50/15 FZ4s, DC Short Shifter, Comptech Springs.

Track Conditions: 85 F, 70% relative humidity, 1000ft elevation.

1st (VERY FIRST RUN) Wheel hop, let off, miss first, finally hook up. 60ft: 2.52, 1/4: 16.2@88.3

2nd run: Spin most of first, hook up around 6k. 60ft: 2.51, 1/4: 15.4@91.2

3rd run: Lights were still set for prostock (unknown to me), so instead of yellow, yellow, yellow, green, it just went yellow, green. Bad r/t of 1.17, bogged off the line. 60ft: 2.5, 1/4: 15.9@89.3

I know the car should be running at least mid to low 15s. I launched 3 different ways, once at 4K slip/dump, once at about 3k dump, and then I had the bog off the line.

Someone help me, because I know this sucks and I need to work on it. Any pointers??? Thanks.
