105 MPH sounds about right for those mods with a "better than average" driver. The intake + heads are holding you back from an extra 35-40 RWHP, which pushes you up there with the "better than average" driving h/c/i combos doing 108-109 MPH.
Your MPH is what is important here, because it shows the power to the ground. Don't worry about E.T.

That's about right with those mods. The GT40p heads are OK but their not AFR 165's, TFS Twisted Wedge, etc. If you had these heads you'd be in the 12.80 range easily. Also the stock suspension is the key to getting into the 12's. Upper / lower control arms is a start but look into upgrading more like subframes, springs, etc. Like mentioned dumping the clutch at 4K with the stock suspension probably isn't helping your time.
i can tell you know if i run ANY WHERE near that when i get the P heads on ill be PISSED!
I think the 1/8th is about right but its nosing over up top based on the mph... where are you shifting? Where are you crossing?
Id run a 9" tire, the 10.5" are actually a little wide for that combo, and the Pro-kit isnt ideal for letting the suspension travel. Do you know what the pinion angle is?
I use to leave at 5000rpm on my old MH Racemasters with a SPEC Stage 3, let it fly and held on..lol Car nearly dead hooked and would go 1.60x consitant, it had Eibach drag launch kit, 70/30, 50/50, 3:73 gears with SSM lowers and welded uppers, stock motor.
There is some truth to that statment, you need to stay in the curve and keep the car moving. A dead hook may stop you or loose all your momentum, a little extra air in the tire may help. Just haze the tires, dont get them too hot.

It should be quicker, but I think the potential is there.
Did you ever try a higher launch RPM? For comparison's sake, I took my '89 LX to the strip with the stock motor, our suspension, 3.73 gear, off-road H, muffs, and BFG 275/50-15s. I launched at 5200rpms, and it dead hooked a 1.69 short time, 8.17 @ 83.01 in the 1/8th, and 12.91 @ 103.7. This was in the mountains in Kentucky, so it's not like it was negative DA.
I'd suggest more tire pressure, probably 14psi. I'd think it could take more launch rpm, although those Pro Kit springs aren't helping. You might be able to raise your shift points just a hair. Short shifting to second hurts the ET for sure. But you also need to powershift the heck outta the car to get the most out of it.

doesnt look like it's nosing over to me...looks right where it should be..
26x10.5 ET streets only have an 8.5"(give or take) tread face on them...they dont come any smaller than that...that tire is literally the smallest ET street you can buy
the mph looks pretty good..general rule is every .1 off the 60ft is .2 at the stripe...so get that 60' down to the low 1.7's or better and it'll run 12.8x's all day long..suspension time...

B cam FTW, and dont any of you forget it!! lol
thanks..i beat the snot out of it to get it there too lol..
OP needs some suspension..at the very least pull the front sway bar off for the track,it'll gain a ton of travel and take 20lbs off the front end...and take your pick between drag racing or hugging the turns, cuz you cant have the best of both worlds there, thats for sure
