I raced more experienced buddy of mine; he was stock, I had intake/exhaust/gears. I put 0.15-0.2 on him in the 1/8th, with 3mph higher trap speed. And I know he was launching a lot harder than I, so he should have easily put a couple tenths on me in the exact same car.

When I see the numbers you posted, it simply tells me that SL55 intake guys are much better drivers than NW guys. j/k

In all honesty, specially with kinda similar 60' times, I'm not sure what to take away from these numbers, except maybe different power/torque curves for the intakes.
