i don't really trust the dyno quarter mile tests. the loading on the drive train is so much lower than an actual track run.
my suggestion would be to make more trips to the track and try different launches and tire pressures. see if flashing the TC gets you off the line any better than stalling it up and play around with the tire pressures to see what the most air you can get in them and still dead hook. more air = more trap speed
