I love that about the car. I'm interested to see if you can get the power down at the track on the Nitto's. They're certainly a better tire than a regular street compound, but they still leave a lot to be desired, IMHO.

Keep us updated on your progress/times.

I had that problem last year and, as a result, only got to the track with my previous car twice and never was able to get a baseline on the 2010 before the turbos went on. Oh well, it pays for the toys though.

That's what I'm now trying to do after my Vortech install. My 60' times dropped by .5 sec to a 2.6 after the SC install cause I can't get it hooked up. But my trap speed is 126 mph.
If I can get the 60' to 1.7, I should be doing 11.1 or better at 130+!!!
Some drag radials and HD axles to start

What he said. Some sticky Mickey Thompson drag radials alone should get you to the 60ft time you are looking for. I ran a set of 265/40-18 M/T's on my 2007 GT500 with a Stage III KenneBell and, even with their almost non-existent sidewall, I cut pretty consistent high 1.6's to low 1.7's.

Of course, upgraded axle-shafts would be a good idea on your car, too. Right now, your tires are acting as the fusible link in the drivetrain. Put sticky tires on there and get a hard launch and something else is likely to give.

I love your build!
