You say it was a bad launch - what was your time at the 60 ft. mark? Without the MPH, it's difficult to get an idea what kind of power difference your mods have made.
Some folks either post a low-resolution (please don't attach a 600 by 1800 Windows bitmap) scan of their timeslips, or they give the information like this:
r/t (reaction time)
60 ft. in seconds
1/4-mile E.T.
1/4-mile M.P.H.

Hey Chris,
Keep the reaction times less than .75 or so, and get your 60 ft times to less than 2.0, and those will be good launches.
You need a catback foolio! All that flow and it has to hit the Stock muffler, dude, that's like hitting a brick wall.
Get a catback, and get good exhaust flow all the way out.
You should be running in the 14 flat area, maybe even 13.8 if you are a driving drag racing badass.

the way i launch at the track, and i figure this the last time i was there, is to go through the water pit. that gives the tires a chance to break lose, and you wont bog

That's interesting - never thought of that. I've always avoided the water on any treaded tires.
Your stats look good for the mods.
