New to the game what should I run?

Last night was my 2nd time driving the car...I played with the Carb a bit and rejetted it, I went leaner in the front jets for drivability, and richened up the rears..
Car went 11.65@115.75 with a 1.70 60 ft..

The car does make more power up top end and screams to 6700 rpms..weighs 3360 with me in it..Im 275..I do have a nitrous kit coming for it, planning on spraying for those "SPECIAL" occasions, after I get my 6 point installed with the harness..The stock seat belt feels like it will rip my throat open if I crash..
On a side note, how do these plugs look?

You think its rich? Looking at the white part of the plug, it seems like a sandy brown color..Think I should lean her out a bit?? The car did run about .2-.4 slower and 2-4 mph slower last night with the 82 degree weather..So that does makes sense to me..Ill try leaning out a bit next time..

I have made some changes to the car in the past few weeks.I was having an issue with the car throwing the belt after 4-5 passes down the strip, and recently found my alternator shaft was slightly bent. $35 for a new alternator fixed the issue and while I was there I replaced my Flex Fan with an electric thermostat controlled fan. This should free up a few ponies and be good for a tenth or two.
I also installed a 6 point roll cage in the car. I was not at the 11.49 ET that required one, however I am a big advocate of safety, and I did not feel safe wearing the stock seatbelt. In fact the stock seatbelt would sit right across my neck and most likely would do more harm than good if I crashed...
Plus the cage should make the frame a bit more rigid, and allow me to cut out some more metal from the car. Eventually I would like to minitub the car and get the exterior looking good..But thats down the road, right now Im just trying to get her consistant and win a few bracket races..
Oh, I also ditched the purple horny mufflers and went with a true muffler, as my local track would not let me run on muffled days with the old mufflers. $40 a piece for 3" Summit Racing mufflers, was well worth it, and the car has a much deeper sound..
