Default Where to go next

Went to the dragstrip yesterday and it went decent since i didnt blow it up this time.

was running 12.0x all night with 1.8 60'

So i soften the crappy shocks and got a 1.7 60'

Best Run was 11.99 at 113 with a 1.73 60'

DA calculator said 2427ft

98 formula
ported 5.3 Heads milled also
236 242 .600 lift cam
ls6 intake
Stock Throttle Body
k&n FIPK
36lb injectors
Midwest converter ~3100 stall

Suspension:
Spohn
Adjustable LCAS
Adjustable tunnel mount torque arm
Adjustable panhard bar
Adjustable Drag Bar( no idea if i need to adjust or what)
LCA relocation brackets( im in the lowest hole right now)
WORN OUT Comp Eng Shocks

Where can i pick up some more 60' and mph. I feel like i should have more mph.

DA would be the culprit I would guess.

Yea it is my street car so im not going to go with that big of a converter, Max im willing to go is 4000.

Not sure what it makes power wise but its just a budget setup so i would be happy with mid to upper 300hp range.

Street driving a 4000+ stall is no big deal. I drove a 5100 that I liked better than my previous 3600.
