Your 60's aren't bad at all for street tires. The big problem which is killing your times is heat soak. The car will run .3-.5 seconds faster if you pop the hood and let it cool off for 30-45 minutes between passes. I bring a bag of ice and a small towel and lay it on the S/C after every pass and will not run again until the the temp gauge is is around 1/3 mark. I do the same thing with my Charger as well and consistantly run .4-.5 seconds faster than running at full operating temperature.
Also as far as air pressure goes you should air up the fronts to about 45psi and air down the rears to around 30psi(no less than 27psi) on street tires.
Thanks for the tips. Now that i have the launches down better than before i will allow the car to cool between runs and use a bag of ice to extract its full potential. Ill also air up the fronts as suggested. And a few more mods in store shouldnt hurt either.
