It would appear that a large part of your awesome car's performance is due to the ultra low 60 foot times you manage to achieve. If you did a usual very good 1.6 sec 60 foot you would not be in the nines I reckon. What diameter SC pulleys are you running? Cheers and thanks for sharing, it is always helpful to know the maximum possible.
