good MPH, just need to get the 60 ft down and it'll be in the mid 11's.

A 1.60 60 ft would put the car in the 11.35 range.

Was going to post the same thing...Also an M6 will probably like a 28" tall tire a bit better giving you more sidewall...I forget what gears you're running and the 28"s may take away some of your gear...Thats a nice first time out with a new set up!...Most of the folks I know who are into racing with M6s use a 4.30 to 4.56 gear with a 28" tire...You're in a good position having had your car tuned on the dyno...You can look at where you're making power and look at what rpm you're crossing the traps... it gives you a great starting point for gear/tire swaps...

For now I'd just have fun learning the car and the track and then play with the above suggestions later if you feel like it...
