yup, you need heads or nitrous. (or both)

you really can't go by feel, get it to the track. look for about 100-102 trap speeds

the 3.73 is holding you back a bit too, 4.10's are optimal , but not worth the swap for 1 set

you don't need the 24's either, not till head swap, did you upgrade the fuel pump, 90 mass air is huge not needed unless big turbo of supercharger

the cam is likely hurting your bottom end with the stock heads and valve springs, injectors likely pushing you into being a bit fat as well...combined you are likely finding power is down simply because the combo is not well matched to make power. Best bet is first return to the stock injectors and corresponding meter to see if the car runs a bit stronger.
