I also respectfully disagree that he's not spinning at 1000ft+, if you watch the car run you can see it. Yes he wandered out of the groove but he was definitely spinning as well. I've made enough passes on 16-17" ET Streets/Drags with radials up front to know what you're talking about, but that was not the case here.
You, Jim, and I all agree that he needs 315/35/18" MT DRs to run N/A. Longer burnouts with the ETs plus a slight mod to his nitrous system will allow for him to run optimally on spray. I think you'll both run 10s very soon.

so when are you going to spray the C63?
