Default ran on slicks today, suggestions on gears??

well i made 5 motor passes today on 28x10.5x15S MT ET Drags. before on street 20" street tires and no weight reduction (about 4900 with me) i ran a best of 14.4@96 with 2.3 60 ft. Today i was pretty consistant, though it was not what i was expecting.i removed my sub/box spare tire and my nitrous bottle, which should be around 200lbs total. my 5 passes were:
14.60@90.1 2.09 60ft
14.58@93.3 2.14 60ft
14.53@93.6 2.14 60ft
14.49@93.7 2.11 60ft
14.52@93.8 2.13 60ft

I'm not sure what gears are in the rear since they are still stock, but i was barely shifting into 3rd at the 1/4 mark crossing at about 4300rpms i'm assuming i have 3.23 or 3.42's. and i cant 60ft for ****. Any suggestions on what gears would be better, without being too much for nitrous as well? Thanks

EDIT: its a GU5 which means i have 3.23's...

Here's a vid of the 14.53 run http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3hJqtX3z3I

it is tuned.....

he needs 4.10s to match his stall and tire size.

You have the MPH for mid-high 13s if you get that 60ft down

why are you running a 3600 stall?? that seems a little big for anything less than an MS3 IMO.

Also even with 3.23s you should be running quicker than 14s on slicks with nitrous???? something is definitely not right

+ 1 on the 4:56's. You will like them with your set up. You would be deep into third gear at the 1/4 mile and still pulling hard.
