The height of the car is irrelevant. Get some sticky tires, stiffer springs in back and some driving lessons.

how high is the track (ft above sea level)? show or type us the whole time slip with 60' foot time, and trap speeds. what type of wheel/tire combo are you running?

the height of the car doesn't really play that much at this point (possibly maybe .1 or 2-3mph) due to change in resistance and overall difference in suspension operation.

Not trying to be a dick by any means, but with a question like this brings the question to mind: How good is your driving skill? Some have been known to say a monkey can run the 1/4 mile, which may very well be true, but it takes more than a monkey to make a good run.... Maybe after some practice you will get a better time, I mean don't expect miracles or anything, but I think that makes a difference along with setup of engine/tires/wheels etc.
I am curious also as to what your 60' was etc...
