well for one 30 lbs injectors is a little much for the trick flow top end kit...the claims with that kit were tested with 24 lb'ers..and if you haven't had a decent dyno tune then I'd get one........but with a trap of 98 13.80's is about right..my mostly stock 92 4 cyl conversion runs 13.80's @ 98 mph and it has a f-cam and ported e7te's......you should run better than that.....a dyno tune may tell you if it's to rich or leaning out and they can set fuel pressure if you got an adjustable regulator..also with the dyno tune they can go in and alter the fuel and spark tables at various rpm ranges where need be and burn a chip accordingly but you'll need to find a competent tuner

Jeez, no doubt that's your problem. I have similar mods, my base tune before the adjustments started was at a 10.5:1 afr and about 75 horses lower than what I wound up with. Not good to rag on it like that w/o knowing if you're lean, either. Worth every cent
