Help with my dragstrip experience

At New Hampshire Epping dragstrip I am running mid 13s with hot tranny and hot 200 degrees coolant temps all day in 70 degree weather with just a no tune Vararam maybe 335-350 whp still less than Ls3. The things is with the crapomatic, I mean automatic, I can't rev before takeoff or anything , a Pontiac G8 maybe GXP nosed me out lastnight with a low 13.2 vs my 13.5. Also my car always feels somewhat restricted at the strip like TM is really holding me back. At the strip my car never threw me back into the seat, however on the street it does in a very violent manner, could this be the heat killing my performance, this is after a 70 mile drive to the strip, sign in and then hit the track asap, with a 10 min cooldown for sign in only. With the button shifters or full auto car runs the same time. Would a tranny cooler, 160degree Tstat, Linelock help , I already have BMR trailing arm and LSRs toe link arm, wheel hop mimimized, stock 60lb plus wheels and tires crappo Pirellis . This strip is listed to be 90 feet above sea level, does this hurt.
