On the fronts work out which wheel is spinning up first, then drop that tyre pressure by 2psi more than the other one, keep dropping both your front tyre pressures by 2 or 3 psi each run (maintaining the 2psi difference left to right), and you should see an improvement in your 60fts which will then improve your overall ET. You need to keep dropping the pressures until you get to the point that the flat tyres are slowing you down too much at the top end and your ETs are going up.

On the rears just pump them up as much as you can, I normally run 50 psi on the rears and 17psi on the fronts, but my engine is much heavier than yours, so you may well need to go lower still on the fronts.

Hope that makes sense and helps.

going up! as you'll get to the point when the flat tyres are holding you back too much at the top end. Then once you've got to that you'll need to stick a bit more back in as you'll have just gone too far.
