It has been widely stated on CL here that you should be using normal mode, and I believe one of the reasons is because it hangs out the revs a little bit more than in PWR mode. Remember, PWR mode doesn't give your motor any more power; it simply just plays with the throttle response AND trans shift timing.
The best time in my sig was in NORMAL mode.
The only time I tried PWR mode was in the middle of summer on back-to-back runs. Times were minutely different; could have just been from heat-soak though.

It'll be 80 shot wet... I would like to go back to the track in the fall when its cooler and have about 1/4 gas tank, some weight reduction and lower my tire pressue and see what it can do then... After that I'll make a pass with the purple bottle and see the end results

I was able to get a 1.99 60ft ONCE, but that pass wasn't even as fast as the one in my sig. I shallow stage, so that might be why I've not netted lower times. This is habit from have a boosted car that liked to creep with the rear parking brake on while building boost.
^Of course there are ALOT of factors that go in the 60ft times; but the main things are :
1) track prep - you really don't have much say in the matter, unless they allow VHT (doubtful)
2) lower rear tire psi to 28-30 psi and lower the rear dampers to 6-8 clicks (if able) for better hook-up off the line
3) avoid the water box - pretty simple, drive around it if at all possible
4) DO NOT do a burnout
5) In-between the water box and the line, romp on the gas a couple of times...just to remove any dust/debris from the tires. If you're already spinning the tires here, then the track prep is crap.
6) Deep stage for better 60ft times.
The MOST important thing...HAVE FUN!

You have to try your car when there is glue on the track.
At 1.97 not any spinning at the start.
I race my car wednesday and they dont put any glue on the track during the week
And i was making 60 foot of 2.15-2.10 1/4 : 13.75
During the weekend with a prepared track always around 2.00 like a clock
