Default First time The car Runs good **CRITIQUE**

I went to the local track tonight and tested the car out since I was having some trouble with the tranny short shifting. Well we figured it out and got some good passes.
the car is the one in my sig.
Shift point is set at 6500 and rev limiter at 6700
car weighed 3664 with me in it and a 1/4 tank of gas.
R/T 1.104
60' 1.574
1/8 7.163
MPH 96.53
1/4 11.25
MPH 120

I am wondering what I could do to make it run a little better. I am knocking on the door for 10's and I think its in the car. What does it take for this to be done? what would you do if you were me? NA though

would increasing the shift point to shift at 6800 RPM and limiter at 7200 be beneficial?

also I know I need to get those 60' down some more. the tires are a 17 inch toyo Proxex 345/35/17 BTW and Gears are 411 on the 4l80e TC is a 4000 Stall.

on a side note, they kick me out of the track for no Roll Cage. I was happy to say the least..... THis is my first time with the car running semi good. It was being consistent in the other run, basically the times were identical.

I would bump the shift points to at least 6800. That is where I had mine set. Are you running your power steering at the track? If so, short belt it. I picked up .05 just doing that. Is there any quick weight you can pull out of the car like the jack, spare tire, rear seat, passenger seat?
