4th gear, 1200rpm pin it, roll into it, try it all if you have the time. You can try 5th but you dont have a big laggy turbo so it probably wont help any.

Putting some 265's on the rear will up your numbers a little too. Maybe air down the rears a little to reduce slippage.

What kind of dyno is it?

Dynojet (Inertia) mesure how fast you can acellerate a known mass

Mustang, Dyno Dynamics (loading) measure power by placing a load on the engine

I'd actually suggest the OPPOSITE for tire pressures. Your 315 meats are HIGHLY unlikely to slip.

If you air them up to maximum rated pressure, you will minimize the rolling resistance of the tire, ensuring that more HP gets to the rollers instead of being eaten up by the tires and converted to heat.
