Default Is this what I lack?

The last time I raced my camaro I went 12.80 at 106. I dont' know about the da but it was a Bristol, Tn Thunder Valley. My mods were 4.10 gear, headers, ory, diablo programmer, ported tb and a set of ET streets. I launched between 5 and 55k and it dead hooked cut almost a 1.8 60. What I don't under stand is how I see some guys running 12.30s and even lower on stock motors and they're trapping 109 and more. My car is a 2000 and other than a dyno tune and a (LS6 intake which I have now) I should be right there? I know I'm shifting fast enough people tell me all the time I'm gonna break the **** off. Is the tune and intake where I'm falling short?

Yeah a custom tune might help a bit...do you have a short throw? Might help with your shifts a bit?

I've got a short stick on the factory hurst with a white pool ball ****. On street tires I ran 13.1s all day with 2.0 60s. I was chirping all 4 going down. You think maybe launching a little higher might get me out the gate a little faster?
