My car is slower now cause I added 120lbs lol still should be low 11s in same da though.

You need a better 60'
weight reduction...whats your race weight? mine was 3450 raceweight.
what tires? do a good burnout. pump fronts to max and rears with most psi that allows you to hook.
are you aware of shallow staging? look it up. it makes a difference.
practice what the stall likes. off idle or a load of 1200-1500 rpm seems to do it for my car.
swaybar...my car pulled front left wheel an inch off ground when car did 11.9stock internal bolt on only.
a good cai. ssra gave my car 2 tenth when it was bolt on only stock stall.

IDK the specs of that cam but either way I think theres a **** ton left in your car.

Just looked at your mph and seems low. What was da?

Race weight is 3500 lbs
My trans/verter actually let go two days later.
Running Toyo Proxes TQ 315/35/17s
I agree on the mph. Car only dyno'd 361hp
I have a FTRA
My 11.9 was after doing my best burnout and prestalling to 1200-1400 Roma and then rolling into it.

I broke out so I couldn't try to beat that.

There are people who can build a 4l60e to hold just fine. Just go with a good name like RPM and you should be fine. How many miles did your stock trans have on it?

ac, rear seats, front pass seat, front swaybar, and floormats. I suppose I could take it all out again (except the ac) before I go racing but i'm just at the point right now where I already know what the car will do so I dont even wanna mess with it. I like the idea of taking it easy off the line to help parts last longer and not get the 11.49 (no cage) boot lol.
