Practice makes perfect dude, on those Cobras you gotta slip the clutch just right, don't worry about r/t for now, it has no effect on e/t anyway, just practice.
Btw, I can't read your timeslips.

Still can't see it, judging by your mph, you should easily be running high 12s, you really need to practice your driving/shifting, what are you shifting at? Your 60ft. isn't that bad for an irs Cobra on street tires, your problem is most likely shift points. Biz will probably have some pointers for you.

We offer a complete bushing upgrade to solve the wheel hop. In addition, a set of QA1 IRS Adj. Drag shocks really help.

With the full bushing kit, and the shocks say goodbye to wheel hop.

Click Here for a writeup on a complete bushing install

That's what I'm saying, you need to slip the clutch to ease into the power and avoid the wheel hop, you'll probably only get a few good runs before the clutch gets too hot, and the gears start grind, then you need some cool down time. I'd go talk to Steeda, or get a solid rear.
