Default For those that drag race

Ok so I have taken up drag racing as a hobby this year. Currently have ECS 1500 8psi with meth, headers, and a tune and some 285 toyo r888 in the back. Everything else is stock. It made 605/600 through an auto. I am in the land of stock c7 Corvettes running 13sec at 106-110. DA is around 7000 here in the summer. I did have a passenger and here is the time.
11.92 at 117. 60ft was 1.8. The DA was 7000 and we had a headwind. I followed with a 12.28 2.21 60ft on the next at 121 this was without a passenger.
My question is this the best I will get on this set up? I know I need seat time that's obvious but still disappointed. Thanks for help in advance.

DA of 7000 is extremely high. Where are you? Anyway, you have a 10 second car. Just not going to happen with that DA. For example, my car is a bone stock C7 base model convertible A6.......11.94@116. But our DA was 1400 that night. And with the amount of horsepower, your car should be 1 second faster than those C7's in the 1/4 mile.

My client ran a 10.5 at 129 IIRC with a Procharger blower kit, Kooks LT headers, and my drag pack with a similar # of 600hp. He's at a lower elevation of course, but I don't recall what DA was that day.
