I've only been down the strip 6 times. It's definitely a delicate dance. I found this 60 foot calculator. http://wallaceracing.com/calc60ft.php
Based on our 60 foot times we should be running:

Your best: 1.775=12.75ET
My best: 1.905=13.6ET

If I can get down in your range 60 foot wise, I should be in the low 11's. It's never been my cars strong suit. I know I can nail a better launch as a driver but I have some inherit car drawbacks. I have over 600 ft lbs of torque at 3500 rpm, a 2.87 first gear, and 3.73 gear. I really could benefit from a taller first gear in every venue.

Your mph is out of this world. I was looking at the drag schedule and I think I'll go back out there in April for midnight mayhem and work on my goals of making a good pass.
