throttle not throdle, makes not machs

Do you see any voltage drop at take of or down the track? Is the alternator on its way out? Have you done the big 3? you dont want the fuel pump to get less voltage and cause you to go lean down the track.

No it will not help. You have the MPH to run a 11 but your 60' probably sucks. Is it a A4 or M6? What was your 60'?

You should be trapping over 120 with your setup IMO. Something else is going on. Alternators charge better when cold, worse when hot.

If you can't shift at high RPM then this is proably your problem. I think you are missing a few MPH but that could be due to heat/humidity right now.
