Good runs! How did the plugs look after with some decent runs under it's belt? What was top speed with times? I think I've seen that most people with a stage1 gets around a 11-11.5 trap time but who knows what they weigh, etc. Maybe that's Herbie Valachez from Fantasy Island?(tattoo) I don't know. I'm sure the pro riders can get better but you're in the ballpark. I think the trap times that Suzuki posts stock is with the tiniest Japanese pro rider they can find to massage the numbers so the bike can have a "happy finish"(no pun intended)

MCN's best time stock was 11.3 but if you're weighing an extra 40 kgs over the tiny rider on there you obviously have way more than the stock 100hp as your almost the same with their pro rider. For fun you might want to get the bike dyno'd. If they are doing an A/F map just disable the PAIR bullshit by clamping the PAIR airfeed hose on the right hand side of the bike. There is a hose coming out of the bottom of the airbox that feeds under the carbs and up to the PAIR box. Just clamp it temporarily on the DYNO so it won't screw up the A/F map sensor. Otherwise it will say its crazily lean when it's not. I'm planning to get rid of mine this winter if I have to make block off plates with paper mache.
Found another 1/4 mile time
11.54sec@129mph
Stock with pro rider(magazine)
But don't look at the numbers too much as %95 of a good 1/4 mile time is the launch and the rider. What your trying to do is get an average baseline so if you hop up or tune the engine you can see tangible results. So for you with your weight, power setup, the moons and star alignment, etc. is around a mid to high 11 second 1/4 mile which is damn good because your only 10ths off from PRO riders who are lighter than you. So now if you tune and get either better trap top speeds and/or less trap times you know you're going in the right direction. I would say with the power on your bike higher than stock the power/weight ratio is probably pretty close to those magazine pro riders so really your only a few 10ths off what the pro's can do. So now say you go to pods and a stage 2 with full system, if the 1/4 mile times are shaved or your top speeds increase well your almost guaranteed that you have more power. As you practice your times will shave as well. %80 of a good 1/4 mile is the launch. Thats where the torque of the Bandit comes in handy. If you have a 1000 hp bike and you're launch is shit you'll still lose. With practice you might be able to shave off up to a half a second.
For me if I was going to the track for a PINKS like race I might go on a crash diet/liposuction and wear speedos and a tinfoil helmet for gear!
Anything to reduce weight. I believe most carb tuners I've read said to try and get better ET than top speed but don't quote me. For me I would shift just a touch past Top HP which would be around 9000-9500 so the next gear would be deep in the powerband. After 8500 the power starts dropping off but due to the relative width of the 5 speed as opposed to the 6 speed it's best to go slightly past top HP RPM. Try it and see if it helps. Of course if you have GSXR cams you can go right up to just short of redline.
To give you an example of Rider over HP. I read on a forum that a guy on a stock GSXR750 got a 10.98 quarter mile time. But his friend needed a Huyabusa (+60 HP) to get a 11.5 quarter mile time. So if you're getting the same time as a guy on a Huyabusa with way more HP you're obviously doing well. Just don't tell your wife if you get a "happy finish" at the track she may misunderstand
