Based on your slip, your car is a monster out of the hole, but then lays down a little up top. A 1.61 60-foot is very good and what is typical of a high 11 second car. A 109 trap shows the power of your motor. You need to hit 111/112 to crack a consistent 11.90. If you are running stock manifolds then headers will free up some power for sure, just not sure if it will be enough. What day did you run the 12.25? What track?

1. Start taking some weight out of the car, go with obvious stuff, front sway, spare tire, etc.
2. What oil do you run? How is the oil pressure? What oil level do you run it at?
3. What plug heat range do you run?
4. How nasty is the tune?
5. What gas do you run?
6. How much air in the front tires?
7. Do the brakes rub or bind? Lift the front end and spin the wheels.
8. How do you stage? Shallow staging will produce a slightly better ET.
9. Do you have the free mods done? FRA?
10. Stock TB or ported?

That's just about the best air you are going to get. Those tracks are very close to sea level and the air is great, as you already know. People travel from 100's of miles away in the spring and fall to set personal bests there.

You can go higher on the front tire pressure. Sounds like you have a good plan in place. I've experimented with oil weights and oil level. My car with it's stock LT1 shortblock ran best with 4.5 quarts of 0w30 synthetic Mobil 1. It was a noticeable gain over 5 quarts of 10w30. Find the heat range for the exact plug that you run and try going 1 step colder. Gap them a little bigger too. For rear tire pressure you want to run the most pressure you can while still having it dead hook. A deflated tire with only 8lbs of air it in might dead hook and launch hard, but then the car is trying to drag an almost flat tire another 1260 feet down the track.
