First thing is your 60-foot... its horrible for an auto CL-S (I am assuming you are auto)
with Yoko ES100's!!! I am assuming you 'bogged' off the line - you need to torque-break
and then launch.
Your MPH looks okay for just CAI on an auto CL-S. If you can get your 60' to around
~2.1, your E.T. will drop to about 14.7 and mph to 96. Next would be headers and then
you are on your way towards low 14's at 98-99mph.
Good luck!

yea dude.. work on the launch and you will see an improvement
i recommend maybe taking some performance driving lessons... they cost a bit but trust me you will learn a shitload.

My worst times at the track have been w/ the brake-torque approach. I just spin and spin and spin. Lower your front tire pressure down to about 28psi and pump the rears to 40 or so. They'll look pretty flat in the front but you'll get alot more traction which will give you lower 60' times and allow you to launch a little harder. Listen to me, I've only been to the track twice in my life and already I'm giving advise...hahaha!

the full tank of fuel alone is costing you .1-.2 and ~ 1 mph.
like everyone else said, drop your front tire pressure to ~ 25psi
i recommend you gate shift the car. which means putting it down in D1 to start and manually shifting it. remember to move the shifter w/ 2-300 rpm before redline to compensate for the hesitation.
TB up to 1500-2000 rpm, roll onto the throttle until you have traction then mash it
