Default Consistant 2.3 60' with 01 M6

Ok, Ive made about 15 runs now and I cant seem to beat 2.33 60s with eagle f1s and 14.3 at 102.3 just is not where I think I should be. Any advice anyone? The eagles still have 80% tread. The car is stone stock SS with SLP CME. I've tried lowering air pressure in rears to 27lbs. The car has no weight reduction done to it and infact about 150 more lbs between stereo and my fat ***. So here are my questions:

1. Is 27lbs low enough in rears, does it matter?
2. Does my trap speed warrant 13.7s or so, am I loosing it all in the 60'?
3. Is the extra weight killing me?
4. How important is the "dusting off" burn out?
6. Technique: Maybe 1200 rpms, fast release of clutch, not a dump, go WOT, I guess zero wheel spin is the goal, any comments here?

I figure why add mods until I can figure out how to get my launches down.

TIA

1) no, start your night at 25PSI and go from there
2) a) No, thats like a low 13 high 12 b) drop that 60' to a 2.0 and youll run a mid-low 13
3)yes
4) its important but not a do or die thing. jus spin em enough to clean em
5) learn how to let the clutch out right before the point of wheel spin.. basically learn to slip the clutch in 1st
Hope that helped man. GL
