Performance mods are -
No passengers in the car right? Just making sure!
Mine's a PP as well, and I have been playing with launch RPM's in the 1200-1500 range. It seems like it tolerates 1500 OK, not much if any wheel spin. Healthy chirps on 1-2 and 2-3 shifts are the norm. Sometimes it chirps 3-4, but that's rare. It sure seems like it's making decent power, but the numbers just aren't there. Elevation where I 'test" is 530 feet, temps from the 60's to 80's, and just my 220# ballast in the car.
Okay, interesting..

I wonder if having a PP car has anything to do with it? Last month I posted that I was thinking about replacing my 3.15 gears with 3.55s. A few people commented that the 3.15 is faster to 60 because the car doesn't have to shift to 4th. I just took a look at one of my data logs. it shows 5550 RPMs in 3rd when the car hit 60. If I do make the swap, it would be to make the car more responsive all around and to improve 1/4 mile times.
Always a diet of 93 octane from day one.Okay, interesting..
So we both have PP, launching around the same RPM and we are about the same elevation and temp range. Sorry if I missed it somewhere, but are you using premium fuel too? If I think of anything else, I'll for sure let you know though!
Honestly though, I know its tough, but in the long run...are you enjoying driving it? Regardless of the seconds or half seconds, the car is just plain amazing and fun to drive. Sure, a GT would be nice, but there can always be something nicer.
Look at the bright side I guess, you are getting "normalish" numbers in a beautiful looking car. I'm pretty sure you will still be beating most cars at a signal take off
Most likely an atmosphere issue. Heat, humidity and air density all affect 0-60. Best I could do pre intercooler was a 6.3 though I only attempted in temps over 80° perhaps it would have been better had I tried when it was 55 outside?
Hmmm. Humidity we have - certainly more than PHX... 50-90% here, and I haven't paid attention to that at all. Well, now I have something else to add to the list...
I thought u had one already? Perhaps not, well get one, you need it as bad as I did lol
I have one - it arrived on Wednesday after bouncing around in the Fed Ex system for way too long. I'm going to get it installed sometime this summer, if things settle down for a while. I'm going to try to get it dyno'd with the original IC just to see if the benefits of the new one can be quantified.
