Time machine.
With that set up, 11:50-11:25's=Seat time.(20-50 passes. Experiment w/ rear & front tire pressure. Recheck pressure after ea. run. Shift light. Don't power shift into 2nd gear. Don't waint untill you see green light at the lights. Stage shallow. Get good burnout in 2nd gear to heat up the rubber. You have the car set up to get there. Never Ever Wheel Hop. If you do , let off the gas!. Good luck.

To the OP-
Congrats. Provided that there is good track prep and heed the advise from bumble-z, you should be able to obtain low to mid 1.6x 60's. You may need to experiment with launch rpm and clutch release. By cutting your 60' by 0.250, you will cut down ET by 0.375+/-. Good luck and let us know the results.

Nice run. I just wanted to add that nittos need heat so don't be afraid to do a big burnout. I would run them around 15 psi.
As Gary said, work on the 60'.
