Expectations vs actual???

Expectations vs actual???
So, as a little background my car is a 2008 Vette 6 speed with intake(vararam)/headers/ported TB/E85 tuned. On a Dynodynamics it put down 430/447. Tune seems good, we did some pulls and data logging after the tune and it appeared to love the E85 and duty cycle was 84% IIRC..
I went to the track last night, expecting to dip into the 11's at 120-123.. I'm trying to figure out if my expectations were a little aggressive, if the weather held back my car from a little better time, or there's something going on with the car I don't see... I really feel like the trap should have been a little higher.
Based one what I can see from yesterday's weather history my best pass which I will post was around 85-90 degrees outside with the humidity around 60%-70%..
I'm on the left, these were run on stock street tires... thoughts?

That MPH is good for 11.60's or better, with excellent traction and shifting. That 60' time needs to say 1.6X.
There is a reason they are called "street" tires. Need something that has "drag" as the first word.

Yea, DR's are on the list to purchase real soon.. I guess my main goal was to really find out if my traps are where they should be with power/mods.
