Better tires to help with traction and lower your 60'. Also, what RPM are you shifting at? You might be shifting too soon or too late not using all the power band efficiently.

I have a 2017 GT 6 speed, with 245/45/17 Drag radials and 1.91 60' I managed 8.3 in the 1/8 mile.

I launch at around 3000 rpm and shift around 7000 rpm. I don't use the OEM launch control.

Try and get to a better track with actual timers.

Run a pair of slicks set to 14 psi cold, launch at 5500 rpm and shift at 7100 rpm!
