You should be trapping at LEAST 10mph higher. Somethings very wrong (as you know). Whats your 60 foot? An 8.0 1/8 mile is not very quick... sounds like you need a much better launch.

NO traction kills! 
i have problems gettin into 13s with normal street tires. i dont even have lsd. definitely work on your suspension and traction problems.. you should have better times from then on.

I think your biggest problem is your weight. your about a 1000 pounds over the weight limit for quick or hotrod class. each 100 pounds is good for a tenth a second...so right there your at 11.3 and then you can work on other stuff as getting traction out the hole...stuff like that.
