Take out the passenger seat. Take out the spare wheel, jack etc. It WILL help. Also try to keep it really cool at the track. Don't spray the ICs though(although it would be nice) as you can get kicked out of the staging lane if they see something dripping from the front.
With slightly over 500rwhp its possible to hit high tens with a perfect run. I think its a lot easier to do with that TC of yours. Good luck man.
