Finally hit 11s update! To start off the car was tuned thursday and put down 420hp and 395tq through a stock throttle body and ls6 intake. So i figured id take it to the track on friday and thats when the confusion starts.
The car is a 2000 ws6 with 53,000 miles, it weighs 3200lbs , mods are full umi tubular suspension, moser 12 bolt, tick stage 2 trans, ls7 clutch, prc stage 2.5 ls6 heads, ms3 cam, intake, and full bolt ons. The first pass i glazed the clutch in third pretty bad but let it cool and made a few more passes granny shifting,
made it to a 12.0 at 114 with a 1.76 60ft on 10in wide qtps. My confusion is where in the hell did the mph go???? I was guessing even with the clutch glazed it felt fine granny shifting, it would have went 117 118 and around 120 power shifting... Any suggestions would help!
UPDATE 6/16/12
Fixed a few problems on the car and decided to take it back to the track and i can say im pretty happy with the result and i know there is much more in it. heres a picture of the time slips and the 11.6 run.

The heat. I had this same problem and have been reading posts from other members, all of us making similar power and all running 11.9-12.0@114-116. The hot weather has a big effect on these N/A setups. Where are you located? Im at sea level but have been seeing 2000+ DA on my runs, most of the locals are down about 3-4 tenths and a few mph right now compared to feb/march.

Do you know what the DA was? That has a big impact on running a good e.t./mph. Were you spinning before or hooking with the 117-120 mph passes. When you hook the mph will be lower.

With correction i bet you're into 11s; but if you're like me benchracing means nothing... I'm stuck at 12.2 @ 114 on a 1.9 60ft with 405rwhp, but it was 2200ft DA. I'm hoping to touch 11s when i'm closer to sea level.

I started to check over plugs and wires and put my hand on the intake and it moved. I went over every bolt on the intake and throttle body and they were hand tightened. I noticed i was getting some oil smoke as well so i went over the valve covers and they were hand tightened as well. Lastly i changed the exhaust and it all seemed to help. Im thinking next outing of launching at 6000 to see how it reacts. Then also getting a shift light so i know where to shift at i looked down on one shift and i had shifted around 6100 or 6200 so i know theres more left!!!
DA was 2,001 as well.

I would love to go 11.3s with the stock throttle body and ls6 intake. I plan on going with the fast 102 combo and hopefully going bottom 11s. Ultimate goal would be to lose a little bit more weight and possibly hit a 10.9x but thats all a dream for now lol

Went to the track again last night and had a couple best. Ran a best of 11.46 at 120. Also had a best 60 of 1.58 and a best mph of 123. Pretty happy with it but still spinning with the qtps so its time for true slicks!!!

Ran a new best of 11.3 at 121 with a 1.58 60 on slicks, bogging a little bit.
Here is an iphone video. At the end of the run you can here the clutch slip!
Cut a 1.56 earlier that night but clutch slipped again

Yea im def done for the year i dont think the ls7 can handle anymore. Im going with a monster stage 3 clutch then putting strange adjustables and a mwc torque arm to replace the umi one i have. After a fast intake and throttle body and retune i see no reason why i cant hit 10s next year then a 150 shot
