Advice on lowering my ET's.

Here's the details on my latest accomplishment. Looking for advice on what I should change to bring my ET down. I want to get under 11.5.

See sig for mods...
Outside temp about 62 degrees.
Humidity about 80%.
ET streets on stock rims with 20psi. Front tires are Kumho Supras on 18" C2's 35psi.
Car weighed 3010 with me.
1/4 tank of fuel (half 93 half 99 octane)
Lauch at 4800 rpms.
Shifting at 7500 rpms.
Running 15 lbs of boost.
Not sure what settings I have the coilovers at. I will check that tomorrow.
Reaction .5195 (I know that doesn't matter to my ET)
60 Ft 1.6730
330 FT 4.8383
1/8 ET 7.5203
1/8 MPH 93.44
1000 Ft ET 9.8249
1/4 ET 11.7838
1/4 MPH 117.96

Try launching at 6-7000rpm and drop your tyre pressures to about 10-12psi and you should be able to get your 60ft time into the low 1.5s. That alone would get you into the 11.40 zone.

How are you guys getting such low 60' times. When I ran the 1/8 last year my best 60' time was 2.3 or something like that. My mods are in my sig.

What kind of chance do I run of breaking something, like my differential or something? I know I'm not making crazy horse power but it is a concern.

Slip the clutch alittle off the line and you should be alright, don't just rev it up and dump it.
