That a pretty good improvement. You still need to work on that 60 foot time as it isnt very good. If you bring that 60 foot time down you will be in the 11s. I have basically the same setup as you but a Kenne Bell supercharger (only 2.4). I run stock 100% suspension, but can manage 1.60 times using 17" ET Steets that have a little heat on them.

yeah i know my 60 foot times suck. i had to keep traction controlon to get the 12.4 runs, everytime i kept it off my times were in the 12.7s because i was spinning even more.

Around 2 seconds is about all that can be squeezed out of the stock rubber. Doesn't matter if you are N/A, N20, T/C, or S/C them puppies just let go when they pushed too hard.

blacks197 its jdms tune dont know how much power not dynoed yet stealth gt i launched at around 1500 rpm ive got to learn to launch it better with the traction control off because that just robs power. if i could launch better and have drag radials im pretty confident i could touch the 11ns

Hell yeah. Get those 60' times down and you WILL be in the elevens. For me, a set of M/T ET Streets pushed me solidly into the 11s.
