No offense. But i think your wasting your time. I no you want more power but you need some suspension work or swap that thing to a auto. I understand you only go once or twice a year but somthing is wrong. What do you have for lower control arms and torque arm?

Stock lowers and torque arm. Car is lowered and I don't have the Relocation brackets. Plan on a 12bolt with BMR torque arm, control arms and relocation brackets this winter. Might have to do more suspension stuff before the next trip to the track. Gonna go ahead and order the head studs and get this build going.

I was a 12.2 spinning with a bad 60 foot on a cam bolt on car making 393. it was prob high 11's. I am now procharged but have no runs on boost yet.
however..... if that car is on 10lbs....something is up. it should be in the mid to high 11's
Id ditch the zr1's and get a stock 17'' wheel. ditch the nt555r and get either a nt05r or a MT
its also a 6 speed.
it sounds like a mix between the suspension not handling that power and possibly need to make some shifting adjustments.
this guy right here has it down pat.

I don't care what your car made on the dyno, because it's obviously not reflecting in the mph. Did the tuner give you a good dyno# then richen AF and back off timing to keep it safe? Is it pulling timing during the runs? Hard to say without a log, but bwkmaro is right as a time slip would be nice.

Well I don't know what the timing is at, I bought the car this way. Stock LS1 with a F1a procharger. I have a video and slip that I will post tomorrow. Hopefully I find out that it's my driving skills. First time I went to the track I was seeing about 6 psi. I ran two 12.70. One at 110 mph and the second at 116. I have a old oil filter i am
going to cut up and see if I find any metal. Thanks for all the suggestions.

Something has to be wrong. At 10psi on a stock LS3, no headers, stock heads, stock cam, I ran 10.5@136mph. My race weight was 3500 pounds, full street trim. I've seen fbodys go just slightly slower at around 130mph with supporting mods. Autos might ET better, but something is wrong.

agreed on it being no problem, or shouldn't be. 487rwhp/440 tq n/a last year got me the numbers in my sig....10.37 @ 128 and a 1.37 short time with a 4l60, 3600 stall & 3.70 gear @ 3400rw. something is wrong and it's more than just your short time. post a vid if you can and maybe that will reveal more of the big picture.
