New best, but still not happy. Raced at New England Dragway saturday with mods in sig.
R/T .630
60' 2.141
330' 5.73
1/8 8.62
mph 85.37
1000 11.085
1/4 13.166
mph 108.34
Yokohama Street tires @ 26 psi race weight 3656 w/me did not remove seat, spair tire/jack or anything.(don't want to)
Shifting @ 6000. I want to get into the 12's. How can I shave .2 without doing gears or DR's?

Power shift. Worth .15 to .2 seconds and 1-2 mph.
It would also greatly help if you could get that 60' in the 2.0s.
My 02 Z ran 12.87 at 111 mph 2.08 60' 0n a 60-65 degree day. Mods are TSP lid/Holley filter/Flowmaster catback. Full weight 3650 lbs+, nothing removed, 1/2-3/4 tank of gas and on stock RSAs. This is ofcourse with me powershifting the car. Shift just before the rev limiter kicks in if you still have stock 6200 limiter. If not, then shift at 6200 rpm, maybe higher depending on what your car likes.
Good luck.
PS, if you can't get those 60's down then the obvious next step is a set of 275/50 R 17 Nittos. They worked great on my 98 Z. When my 275s wore out I bought the 315s, but I should have stayed with the 275s. The slight increase in width looks mean on the 10 spoke SS wheels, but not worth the added weight and shorter sidewall.

Some DR's will also get you into the 12's for sure
