Default Should it be quicker

My best pass so far motor only is
60' 1.796
ET 12.732
MPH 106.53
The DA was 346'

Engine has all stock internals
stock 10 bolt 3.23
built A4 with a 3600 Edge converter
Pacesetter 1 3/4" LT
Pacesetter ORY
Borla Catback
SLP CAI, smooth bellow and 85mm MAP
LS6 intake
EGR and AIR deleted
MSD Plug Wires
Ngk TR6 plugs
Nitrous Outlet 78mm plate kit set for 150 shot
The computer was tuned for the nitrous 6 degrees of timing removed
UMI subframe connectors, tunnel mount torque arm, lower control arms and relocation brackets
165R15 front tire M/T 275/50/15 Drag Radials
15x4 and 15x8 Jegs Sport Star rims

I have been told the car should 60' better and be a little quicker with the upgrades I posted above. The tires hook no problem and I have tried changing the rpms I launch at between idle and 2500 rpm and the 60' doesn't change average 60' is 1.80- 1.82. The only difference I notice is the higher the rpms are when I launch the slower the et and top end mph are. The lower control arms are in the bottom hole of the relocation brackets and the drive shaft angle is -2 degrees. I haven't had a chance to get the total weight of the car but I haven't removed anything from the car so it should be real close to factory weight. What do you guys think should the car be a little quicker?

All those guys running low 11's with as much of a stock car as yours have done considerable weight reduction. You can't have your cake and eat it too....
