11.83 at 115.91 mph . Is this good?

My first run was at 112 mph et was 13.028 with alot of tire spin. My next run was at 11.83 at 115.91. I think I can still get a better et. My car weighs 3700 w/driver. I could not even get into the bottle until I was in 3rd gear. I need to find a way to hook up. I am running mickey t's sportsman pro's (26 diameter). I was running a 125 shot of nitrous. I am about to move up to a 250 shot! I am still not sure if I will or not. I noticed there is some oil coming out of the dip stick after running the 1/4 It's embarrasing to see the smoke hitting my headers and smoking a bit. Note* this run was made at 4000ft elevation

A set of MT E/T Streets would help with traction, but the rearend might not like those...

Hey , that's weird there is one reply and yet it was showing zero replies. Well, as far the MT ets that was exatcly what I was thinking of . Before I spend the money on those I will try and a lower tire pressure on my sportsman pros . I have a micro switch now so I really do need the traction when the switch gets activated at wot. I could always manually turn off the switch then turn it on for the 2nd and 3rd shift but I want to see how good I can leave off the line in 1st gear.

Oh, and as far as my dip stick blowing out and spewing oil on my headers , it turned out to be a clogged valve cover breather. Now I am running 2 less restrictive breathers on one valve cover. Worked out good, no more smoke when I do a burnout at the line!
