What tires are you running? That 60' is horrific.
You get that 60' down to even a 2.0 which is not hard even in a M6, you will be running low to mid 12's at the very least

This.For every .1 you drop in 60' you will drop about .2 in 1/4 mile.

Little tricky trying to launch the stock, definitely need some better tires but i don't see why a 1.7 / 1.8 60' isn't possible with what you have currently. That alone would put you mid 12's at least. You just need some seat time it sounds like. Can't just dump and floor it like it is it's not setup to handle that. Keep at it.

Go with a bias ply like a QTP. A radial wants to bounce and does not recover well once it spins. Especially with a manual trans .
