So close to 7.0's (1/8th)?

So close to 7.0's (1/8th)?
looking at some time slips and doing some comparing to the new car vs. my old pewter car.
My old pewter car (370ci) @3,4xx race weigh (#4167):
The current red car (382ci) @3,600lbs race weight.
*On this pass I did kill a little over 2mph. Est. at a 7.14 pass at 93mph.*
Does the mph seem low for the ET in my current car? Is the weight and/or wheels and tires hurting it that much? There's no ram air besides the SS hood on the car. It looks like it doesn't pull like it should from 330ft to the 1/8th compared to my old car?
Any thoughts?

like ive preached to everyone else, gut the lower airbox if its not... you say only ramair is the hood, so im guessing you havent gutted the lower airbox... a damn near stock car will pick up 2-3mph from this in the 1/4.. i can see yours gaining that in the 1/8...

Motor was built years ago using a Lunati 382ci rotating assembly. Not sure on compression or even the cam (it sounds pretty small). Ported 806 heads, LS6 intake, old style SLP long tubes with catted Y pipe and a DMH electric cutout. Has 1.8 Crane Gold roller rockers as well.
This is what I've gathered from previous owner and the guy that built the motor. It seems like a real simple non radical setup, but lots of unknown parts.
Now has a built 4l60e with a circle D 4C converter and 3.73 gears.
