Default Unhappy with first 1/8th track times

Well I finally made it out to Redline Raceway in Greenville, My best numbers are 10.19 @70.46 and a reaction at .69. I ran two other times with 10.22@ 69.85 & 10.23@ 70.17 with reaction times that are not even worth mentioning. I feel that there is alot more there in the tuning that needs to be unleashed, before I opt for a cam and 3000 stall. Im not very proud of these numbers, but at least now I know were I stand. The tuning was done at TRT in Arlington, Dustin if you read this let me know if you can get anymore out of my tune.
It has the LQ9, The 345HP 6.0 in a half ton and a 4l65. I have 4.10 rears with the factory locker. What kind of numbers could I acheive with a hot cam that is still driveable and a 3000 stall.
Any input is good input, because I have no idea what I need.

your reaction time has nothing to do with your time for the 1/8 mile. you could sit there for 5 mins but the clock dosent start till u cross the line and begin your run.its the 60' time that you should post off. your getting a bad start off the line.you must be hitting about 2.4-2.7 60' for those times
