Default H/C M6 looking to get 60' in the 1.4s help

My best 60 to date is 1.56
Car setup as of now:
-4.10 gear
-26x10.5 ET bias ply on stock wheel
-Stock front shocks with strano springs
-Koni rear shocks and strano springs
-stock rear sway bar, front removed
-UMI tunnel mount TA
-UMI lcas and panhard
-lca relocations
-mwc SFCs

The plan:
-26x10.5 slick on a 15x10
-Viking or qa1 double adjustable front coil overs with 300 lb springs
-viking or qa1 adjustable rear shocks
-ain't roll bar/drag sway bar?
-rear springs? Stranos ok?

The car is NA M6 now but eventually be 4l80e swapped and possibly nitrous. So I need a setup that Wil be compatible with both transmissions. It's my goal to get a 6.9x NA with the t56 before I swap to the 80e. My best now is 7.22 @ 96mph 1.56 60'. I am also goin to remove some weight with front and rear bumper supports and also possibly a fiberglass hood. Need all the suggestions I can get. Thanks

The adjustable shocks will help and the rear drag bar with keep the chassis straight and make it react quicker to power.

What's the race weight? For my car the biggest improvment is when I installed my MWC front end. Strange singles, k member,lower control arms, manual rack. The car transfered so much better. Went from high 1.5 but mostly 1.6 60 ft times to 1.48. Still on stock rear shocks also.
