Default Should I be in the 10's??? please help...

I'm new to the 11's and I think I should be much deeper into the 11's or maybe even 10's according to my timeslip:
60' - 1.954
330 - 5.174
1000 - 9.894
1/4 - 11.707
MPH - 125.66

I'm having trouble launching the car... It's a head and cam car making 490 rwp and 410 rwt. We just put in a new RPM - M6 trans, new 4:10 DTE diff, DTE brace, tunnel plate, spec 3+ clutch w/ billet flywheel, 295/35/18 drag radials. I'd like any help possible with launching the car. PLEASE HELP... I NEED TO GO FASTER!!!

Thanks for your input. I'd like to keep it looking as stock as possible and also not have to change my tires when I get to the track. I'd really like to keep the 18's or possibly go down to a 17.

I broke into the 10's with 119/120 mph so i would say yes you should be in the 10's you running a stock rear end?

I would put some slicks on it with a 15" rim and leave about 6000 rpm. That's assuming you're not on the stock rear end.

1.9 60 ft is pretty bad for that mph. I went 1.6 in a 12 second car to give you an idea. With the mph it runs it should be running about 1.43-1.45 60fts would be my guess.
