Whats your 60 ft and mph, is it a 6 speed or auto, drag radials, slicks or street tires.Whats the DA where you race? 12.1 in Denver is an awesome time.You have the horsepower, you might just need more experience.

Dude, it sounds like you need to just drive a little better. You have all the pieces there to run what you want. Just a comparison...and I am not braggin'. I ran 11.77 @ 123mph with run craps with only a BBP vortex intake, B&M shifter and a 100 dry shot with stock exhaust with gutted cats. I've seen others do the same, so it can be done. Now, I do have an FRC and it is lighter.
I tell ya, on that day, some 4 years ago, many fellow C5 owners at the track that day swore that my car had heads or whatever. So, my friend with his Black FRC ran his a few minutes later...he's was running a wet kit with tires (M/T's) and ran 11.48 at 125mph with no internal mods...he was sporting the Borla XR1's at that time.

So just go out and practice my friend; I'll bet you that you will surprise many of those nay sayers!
