Default Something is seriously wrong!

I posted a while back about only laying down 364RWHP while running pig rich 142 shot on the dyno. That got me a 12.0 @ 115 earlier this year. I ran 12.05 @ 112.9 on an off the shelf 100 shot last year. Yesterday and Friday, I changed my jetting from .062N .036F to .062N .033F and ran some race gas to stay safe, since my Thursday dyno trip was unfruitful, due to a bad batch of gas . I ran 12.02, 12.04, 12.06, all @ 115mph. I ran on my BFG 295's and I ran on Z32's with Hoosier 26x9.5x16. Same times on both. Same mph. More consistent on the Hoosiers.
Best 60'
1.58-BFG
1.62-Hoosier
All on 6k rpm launches. Why wont it go any faster? I have a few hundred passes under my belt, but I'm stumped.

Stock axles, open diff. I give it a quick slip from 6k. I'm still scared to drop the clutch from 7k.
I run bfg drag radials on the street.
