As you probably know, Marc H. has a list of gimmicks to drop some weight on the Z. Have you done that stuff?
It would be fun to have a car like the old 2,900 lb. "Snakeskinner", and drop your 350 into it. A definite high 10 sec. car all day long.

I clipped off the mufflers, (same B&B setup you have), like Haibeck does, and gained trap speed , and cut E.T. on my stock motor car.
I have done Marc's weight reduction.

Do you remove the mufflers or do you have a cut out.
The reason i ask, you gain twice one for weight those B&B mufflers are heavy and second is flow.
I think my B&B mufflers flow pretty good,never tested,my system is all welded.
I will test a set of the newer B&B mufflers on the dyno soon.
