My best short time was 2.2 which was with Traction Control fully off and just flooring it off idle. But I revved it off to the redline and was slower overall.
Needed more runs to tweak things.
Run flats are going. I have a set of Michelin PSS waiting in my work store room but not the rims yet. Although I am getting 19s so not the best performance option.

Launching the DCT is a challenge. It's the biggest downside of an otherwise excellent transmission, imho. I always disengage all nannies at the drags. It will interfere with your run and there is no need for it. Track is a different story.
As a comparison, I ran a Michelin PSS 225/35/19 and 265/30/19 at the drags and my 60ft were consistently slower than when I ran 225/40/18 and 255/35/18. I did manage a PB of 12.1** on 19's but I'm confident I would have run a 11.*** if I ran on 18's. I have not gone back since though.
I think you will see an improvement switching to non-rft's but the lower profile may negate its benefits. I spun all the way through 1st gear on every run on 19s, but with your power it should not be an issue.
