Jerry,
The first thing you want to check is the relationship of the chassis 4-link brackets to the rear housing mounts before you go lowering the rear too much. By changing this you will make it much harder to make 4-link adjustments on the fly at the races. There will be much more set up time to make a small change.
That said I would try lowering the front which will lower your CG and it will also flatten your neutral axis line, this will make the car more neutral thru more of the IC adjustments.
The torque roll that you are getting for the first 600 ft is not uncommon with turbo cars, but with a very good anti-roll bar set up you can control this and make the car drive better and be more consistent.
The 60ft times being off is more your turbo set up, if you don’t have one you need to add an MSD boost controller. This will let you build more boost. With out this you can only get about 15# of boost in a clutch car, but with this boost controller you can take timing out of the motor which will make 30# of boost on the starting line and bring the timing back in, in the first couple of tenths to as much boost as it can stand. This will pick up your 60 and your over all ET and MPH.
