Default new motor

Whats up guys, I finally got something done to my motor. I swapped the top for 4v stuff and a couple other things also. It is a different drive now, more so at above 4K rpm but kind of disappointed. They dynoed me at 264whp but 0-100 isn’t that much quicker. I haven’t made it to the track yet but my gtech meter (which is spot on with the track clocks) is saying im 13.939 only .3 quicker in the ¼ mile then before (npi 2v). Either way F/I will like this setup better.
I do like it and it sounds more aggressive too.
Thanks for looking

what are your other mods? 13.939 seems a bit slow for a 264 rwhp car. 60ft time? trap speed?

I have a auto with a shift kit and 3.73’s shortty headers with high flow cats, sub frame connectors, and the front end has a tubular kmember and a arms with adjustable struts and big brakes. I also have a dyno tune with an sct switchable chip and some other little boltons too.
I was wondering how much a stall converter (3000) would help?
My 60’ time was 2.4 L and trap was 105. So I think there are .2-.3 ths left on the table but was still hoping for more
the black run is the new setup and the red run is npi 2v setup

That seems REALLY slow. I know of Mark VIII's with only 4.10's running those numbers. Seems like you should be running mid 13's.

thats not bad at all, some tires and a S.C(stall not s/cer) get the 60' down to a 1.8 and thats 12.9 territory (105 mph trap.), i don't trust those electric meters at all.
