Daniel,
Were those times at Pueblo or Bandimere?
Keep in mind that right at 100mph is DAMN fast for a street car at 6000ft. You will find that the C5s magic number that they try to break is 100mph at Bandimere.
I don't have the time slips with me so this is just from memory. I think at Bandimere I ran about a 2.2 60 ft time (crappy) and 14.5@103. All that was run while I had a leaking head gasket. I was running 245 AVS interemediates. Keep in mind, that roadrace tires with small side walls aren't good for drag racing.
A 951 is damn hard to drag race, but it can still be fun to try. You could get a 951 to drag race well, but, you will sacrifice in other areas. For instance you want monster weight transfer to the rear when launching. That is not good for handling. But still, a 951 can hold its own against many cars.

Just thought I'd throw an update, a bunch of friends got me to go back with them again last night. Cut a 2.2 60' and a 13.9 @ 102. Now if I could just get a tial wastegate so I would actually hold boost (still only running 15psi with it tapering down to 9 or 10 at redline.)

Daniel. Keep in mind that you are running at 6000ft (or thereabouts).
The correction factor at bandimere is about .92 (time) and 1.07 (speed)
That means a 14.7@100 (I at bandimere is "equal" to a 13.5@107 at sea level. You aren't doing that bad.
