Looking for advice on a succesful set-up 2001 RMK 151"SP

currently run EPI (yellow) high engagement spring
10-60 weights = 8200 rpm
stock secondary
stock gearing @ 20/39 with 68 chain
151"x2" paddle
PSI Twins/can

The sled now goes from 0 - 75 mph in 1/16 mile and tops out, I love it for everyday, I think it,s perfect.
First time at a drag race event last weekend.......no fun with this set up. I got put in the mod 800 class and lead the feild in every run......to half track, then lost buy a lenght or to at finish line.

Help.....I hate losing......open to suggestions....I am thinking gearing ?????
