Nice! I think that's the fastest stock X1 run, I never ran mine stock and all the magazines had 13.9. What's even more amazing is that you can definitely get that 60ft down even more!

101.49 is a strong trap stock.

To answer your previous question I put the car in M mode. So I put the shifter into sport but pull a paddle to switch into manual before I enter staging at the drag strip. That way I'm already in M1 when I am ready to go.

One more tip - you already know you are supposed to shift around 5500-6000 rpm. But if you are approaching the end of the 1/4 mile and have enough revs left, try to finish without shifting even if you are at 6500-7000RPM. The time you save by not shifting is more than you lose by not being in the torque curve.
