Default Doesnt feel like its all there.

I have a 2001 ws6. LS2, 799 heads, ls6 intake, ms4 cam, deka 60lbs injectors, 4l80e, Cirlce D Pro series billet back 4k stall, 1 7/8th's long tubes to a cutout and flowmaster(got it for free), its on a 28 inch tire and has a moser 12 bolt with 4.56's. car pulls hard but just does not feel like a mid 11 car like i feel like it should be. Im starting to wonder if the converter is the wrong choice. i know the stall size is atleast the recommend size being a 4k but using a dragy on the street which gives me my estimated quarter its only at like a 12.3 at 110. i feel like this car should be trapping in the 116-118 range. its been street tuned. car pulls hard just feel like it should pull harder. car has somewhere close to 30 degrees of timing in it and it took every bit with no spark knock and felt like it was making power. also limtier is set at 7100 and it shifts about 6850

4.56 gear is a Lot for a Ls2 with a 7100 rpm high?

What is the compression ratio?
what was the da?

Depending on the fuel I would think it could take more timing.....

Msd or Fast 102 intake would help massively.

You should be shifting that setup a lot higher....7200+ rpms and would probably benefit from a bit more stall...4400+

Shifting at 6800 rpms is WAY to low for that cam.

car just felt like it had no *** in it with 4.10's. feels like it puts the car in its powerband sooner with 4.56's but something might be a tad off with this set up. im almost thinking of calling pat g or someone and discussing it witht hem because i have no clue what is the issue. seems like everything should be there for mid 11's. i have comp shocks in the back it doesnt hook half bad and its got micky et ss's

i think a 102 /102 set up is needed. i think its not getting enough a have a chrs1313 ram air set up on the way but i think for me to get the most of this set up the ls6 intake isnt enough to get me what i want.
