Right now traction is not my problem, I am not spinning off the line, my Drag Radials hook well, my 60' ft times are 1.9 not good but not bad.
I am worried about my trap speed being so low. and that my tune is shipting into 4th before the trap.
I race with under a 1/4 tank and remove the trunk contents. I personaly weight 220 this is not helping

I don't have an auto and I'm not in the 12's (we'll see tomorrow night how close i am) but I don't see any suspension mods on your list. I'd at least go with LCA's and relocation brackets so you can change your instant center and get better traction off the start. You'll reduce your 60', 1/8th mi etc....that should get you really close.

If you've got an auto you should be able to manually shift 1st to 2nd to 3rd and avoid your transmission going to 4th
I used to drive an auto and it never hurt but just make sure you don't overshift from 1st to 3rd

I agree with lower/upper control arms and longtube headers, also try delete plates. I ran 13.1 at 105 after putting lt headers, x pipe, ud pulleys, cmcv plates, and a tune from B ama chips... on street tires too

Turning O/D off helps acceleration (I think it actually says that in the manual) but the 1>2>3 shifting should let you avoid the moving into 4th problem and maybe rev your engine a lil higher (depends on your tunes shift points)
