What were you running for tires, what was the temperature? Later on in the year when its cooler you can prob get 11's. I assume your on DR's w/ that 60' time, see if you can get it a little lower.

It was 77. I have 295/35/18 bfg drag radials. I had a very slight spin off the line. Not much though.

I think the temperature is your biggest hindrance. I ran my best time to date on my old combo in October of last year. Your 60' is good, probably wont get to much lower w/ out slicks but it depends on your track prep to. Id just keep at it, how is your driving other wise? Is there anything else you can improve on such as your shifting, every little bit helps so keep at it an you should be able to get 11's

Only other thing I can think of is powershifting. Or maybe turn my tachlite up a bit or down. I dunno. Frustrating lol.

dont give up, try adjusting a few of the things you mentioned and power shift it and see what happens. If not just wait for it to cool down. Your probably leaving enough power on the table due to the temps that on a cooler night it would give you 11's
