I launched at 10lbs with a transbrake. I've never felt acceleration like that in my life. I'm pretty sure the wheels came off the ground 
I had rear AGX shocks on medium setting, relocated stock LCAs, and stock tq arm. New Hoosier 26 x 9.5 slicks.

Locking or non locking converter...my times were similar when I locked my converter around the 1/8 mile mark (95-100mph) my mph jumped up to 124. And yeah I've had several 1.48 60' off the transbrake leaving at 12-16 psi...felt awesome and yup wheels came off about 4-6" a few times, I'll bet your did too!

I think that converter has a lot to do with it.
Just my opinion but Why Torture the car ? ... leave soft and let the car MPH to your GOAL .. that's what they're good at .. use the cards you were delt ... nothing wrong with a 10.90 @ 130 leaving soft and not tweaking the car.
Once you tweak the car .. there is no going back.

Leaving soft is absolutely zero fun.
I just launch off the foot brake, and I don't think I'll be hitting 130 with stock heads and cam on a TTA...

Isn't drag racing in general torturing a car?
It's a lot easier to run a good ET when you leave hard. It's much, much, more difficult to pick up ET out the back. Even if your car runs 130 you can't leave too soft and still run 10's (although you might be able to vacuum launch and eek into the high 10's)
