Your trap speed shows some promise. You will get well into the 12's with your current setup and practice. I think you will need tires and alignment to get middle 11's.

Thanks phunk.
Talk to me about what you consider a roll out. Like aggressive red light launch or not even that?
What about when to shift out of 1st? 6500-7000 comes so freaking fast. Should I shift a lot sooner like at 4500 or 5000? The turbos really come on hard in second but I feel like they aren't helping much, or are hurting even in 1st so I feel like I want to GTFO of 1st quick. But psychologically it is hard which is why I didn't try it last night.
What about RPMs after 2nd? Like I said, things come up so fast and while I think my shifting is crisp I don't have a short shifter. So I was shifting at 7000. This leaves me one tick from redline in 4th crossing the line. I know that I have to be well in to 5th if I go any faster...question is how to get in to at the right time. *Edit: I just watched the videos...I was shifting after 7000 but before readline.
