Too bad my cars mods couldn't keep up :/ Get that 60 ft down and you'll be cracking 12's! 
13.20 at 105mph
I have a 3600 stall but my best 60 foot surprisingly was from me feathering it out of the hole (too much wheel spin on stall launches and car would go into like dead mode from all of the high rpm wheel spin). Keep in mind I am on Sumitomo street tires (which are an epic fail for drag racing) Getting some M/T ET Street Radials for the spring
What type of radials? I don't think you are making enough power yet for the rear to go out. But then again, 10 bolts are really a hit and miss. If you are on a budget for the rear, welded axle tubes, a rear girdle cover, and a nice change of gear fluid should help it last a bit longer.

Don't you have suspension stuff?
Well if you have longtubes/ory/exhaust/tb stuff like that and still have wheel hop with radials.. I'd recommend upgrading the radials (have you noticed that 275 nittos seem to be smaller than your normal 275/40/17 tire? Seems like that to me)
Nittos are good for street tires as in like they last awhile.. MT Et street radials are good for traction but don't last very long.
What gears on your 9"? sorry if its already listed
As far as suspension I'd recommend rear drag shocks, lower control arm relo brackets, lower control arms, shock tower brace, subframe connectors, QA1 front springs are awesome (but expensive) and a UMI, BMR, Spohn, etc tunnel trace mounted torque arm for LT headers
I'd give larry@speedinc.com an email. He helped me out a lot as far as suspension modifications. Now if only my immediate budget could keep up (most of my money is in investments)

the gear is 3.70 and I have the SPL bilstein stage II suspension package which is shocks and springs(I don't really want to replace b/c I just bought them), a have LCAs and that's it for suspension.
A shock tower brace will not fit due to the SS air box

Subframe connectors, tunnel brace mounted torque arm (for LT setup), and some pre-staging will help get the 60 foot down.
What PSI were your Nittos on during the run?
Like I said, your rear should be fine on Nittos.. I'd be nervous to jump to ET Street Radials with a t56 though.. but then again I'm too cautious.
I've heard 350rwhp is limit for t56's and 10bolts and 400rwhp is limit for 4l60e but like I said before.. some last on 500rwhp.. some guys break on 275rwhp...
Drop the psi on the Nitto's to 18psi, do some pre-staging. Go through the water box and just do a small brief burnout to get the tires hot and the water off.. and I think most guys launch at low rpm's on t56's 1500rpm-1800rpm? To keep the wheelspin down. Try it at different rpms. Seat experience is the best thing.
I've only been to the track once, so I still got a lot to learn myself! Good luck

best thing to do is to go out and practice your launch, dont worry about your 1/4 mile time, dont worry about looking like an idiot and running 20 sec 1/4's, everyone there who knows what theyre doing will know whats up, thats how we all learn. my best r/t was .023. stage deep, go on amber, not on green AND HAVE FUN!! god i miss the track........
I would probably raise them to around 17-18psi.. Never ran nittos so not 100% sure but I am pretty positive that is too low on them. Nittos can get you to a low 1.6 short time if you can launch it. You want your tires to have the most air pressure in them without spinning, it will give you more top end. If you hook at 18psi and drop them to 15psi you aren't helping anything out of the hole but hurting your top end.
