Most likely you need to rebuild you trac lok. You can get a rebuild kit from summit for like 50 bucks but its going to cost a few hundred to have it installed. I got quoted at $200 extra when they were doing my gears. So they didnt have to open it up or anything... not including fluid, etc. I would say about $250... hopefully you can find better though because prices around me are kind of high.

The numbers could definetly be a little higher than 293. I mean, they arent bad but they could definetly be higher. With the cam and heads you are running I couldnt image you not seeing 330rwhp. Anyone agree/disagree?

Also, what year is your car? Im guessing that its before 93 and it has forged pistons. If so, you really dont want to push the block past 450rwhp. You can, but its not really recommended since anything past that your in pretty much danger zone. Given that fact and that your making 300rwhp already I would run maybe a 120 shot and see how your motor responds to it. Have your car tuned with the nitrous though to be safe. It will cost you some cash but its better safe than sorry ya know.
