great job! i think your stock tb is the limiting factor, especially on your back track numbers...but i agree, those nagging cel's are a pita!!!

if you do make it back to the track and happen to have our oem air tubes...i sure wouldn't mind seeing a back-to-back comparison with the pythons like you did with the airbox.

I had your same exact tire setup on lightweight Kosie rims (17 lbs) and when I switched to the heavier 16" CCW (21 lbs) rims I noticed a 1-2 mph gain. I didn't see much of a gain in the ET's but more so in the MPH. All though conditions were cooler when running the different tire setup I corrected each time to sea level to determine my estimation.
Back when my car had the VR600 (80mm TB, Shorty headers, box PC tune, and 175 pulley) it ran a 11.49 @ 121-122 in 1500 DA at Famoso. It had the Kosei rims mounted with MT 265-40-18's and stock chrome rims up front. I think your car is right on par with what she should be doing with the listed mods in your signature.
Kleeman did a wonderful job in placing the right tune with your mods and it seems as though you have more left in her. Complement the airbox with a bigger TB and you'll see even bigger gains. My friend upgraded his stock tb to a 82mm and improved his 60-130 time by .6. Keep in mind that this car still has the original tune meant for the stock TB and a massive header leak. Hopefully I could get my friend to make a showing at Famoso to see what his beast will do.

Is it me or does the trap speed seem kind of low? I would've expected maybe 124 mph with an 11.4x

. I wonder why they use an average instead of the exact speed at the end of the 1/4 mile. I could be way off here but this is what I was told and I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.IMO, trap speeds seems to be overemphasized in 1/4 mile runs here on MBW. I personally would trade in a few mph for a 1.4 60' time, but that's just me. Than again, if I was out trapped at the track on the same day by a very similar modded car, I would be very concerned.
You have to also remember, like I posted earlier, with my VR600 the car ran very similar times as Skratch at Famoso....11.49 @ 121-122. With this said, I personally think his trap speeds are fine. Just my $.02.

it's nice when you get warned for going to fast...in a 4dr luxury car!
Congrats on your PB's.
There is a lot of good advice in here. Glad to see that the airbox helped as I have one on order too.
Don't get hung up on the MPH aside from comparing it to your previous times at the same track.
I feel you still have some more ET left in her!
