Default 8.1 at 96 Need Help with Setup

I have a 98 TA M6 with most bolt ons and a 224 cam. I put down 373 HP and 372 TQ (dynotuned} from a dynojet my car has a New centerforce DFX clutch, master and slave with drill mod shifts great now. I have motive 3.90 gears and BFG drag radials 295.35.18 with SFC's. I only spin half way through first and I speed shift all gears. Its a full wieght car minus spare tire. I can only hit an 8.1 at 96 on a 75 jet dry dynotune nitrous kit. I do fast clutch let out at 3500 and spray from 3000 up in all gears. I am impressed with my MPH but why is my time so weak. I hit 2.18 60 ft I know thats sad but what should it be and like i said i dont think i spin all the way up through first unless the DR spin silent. It chirps all gears on spray and feels fast as hell Oh and on nitrous a dry 50 I put down 410 HP and 422 TQ all threw the 10 bolt. Any help to get my time down would be great thanks guys if need more info on timeslip just ask. THANKS

Get a 9" rear end, suspension mods, and a set of prostars with a 26x11.5 e.t. streets and watch it run low 7's.

I second the Mt's but go with a 16" wheel with the stock 10 bolt.
