Default Got the bug! Need help!

Best Ive ran is 11.002 @ 127.4 w a 1.66 60ft

Combo is a stock short block HC w 100 whp shot
Drivetrain is totally stock mn 6 w 3.42 irs
Fidenza clutch, tilton master

I want more but am worried about breakage of course so I want to know what to add to help in this.

My thought on strengthen the drive train w a dte brace, hardened input and harden axles. If I cant do it all at once what should I start with?

The tires Ive been running are 11.5x16 mt et streets on z28 16x8 rims and gto spares up front.

I know I need a better 60 but not sure if gear is the way to go since on the spray Im at about 5500 through the traps or thinking drag shocks in the front?

Help is needed Im lovin rowing gears and am comming from a low 10 sec auto car and not looking back!
