I only had one sucessful 60-130 run which I made with 2 shifts. I made two more attempts but even with my raised 8400rpm limiter, I could only get up to 129.89 in 4th. I am pretty confident I can get the time down since 9.88 wasn't my best attempt. I shifted too late from 3rd to 4th. Also, it's hard to get good 0-60 time on this car especially with a tune. The throttle is so sensitive that it's hard to get a good launch. I definitely need more practice.
I have the following mods: RPI Ram Air Kit, Block Off Plates, RPI Pulley, RPI GT Exhaust System (Sec 1, 2, 3), Powerchip/RPI ECU Tune.

Good point. I didn't look at the elevation data until now since the road looks pretty flat to me. But to my surprise, I was actually running on an ~15% incline! I started at -53.251 feet and ended at -45.86 feet. So my time should be much better than 9.88. I guess I gotta find a flatter private road. By the way, temperature was at about 70F.

Even better!! You should submit that time to the mods on 6speed.com anyway and get on the list, it the fastest bolt on M6 I've seen, nice job.
Best 0-60 times were by using U.S. LC. I later realized that I was doing the LC wrong. I just pushed the gas pedal half way. When I do that, it's so hard to control the throttle after I let go of the shifter. The correct way to do it is to press the gas pedal all the way down until the kick-down button is pressed, and then lift off the gas pedal a little. After letting go the shifter, just got to modulate the throttle a little and then floor it. This way, I get more consistant times. Drop clutch is when you just smash the gas pedal and go right? I get no traction at all with that method.
