Not bad, as mentioned the gears are holding you back a little, and a converter would help too. Tune might also want to put on your list of next things to do.

Thats about right. Toss those gears and get some dr's and you'll hit the 12's

Gears, verter and some sticky tires and you got a mid 12 sec car.

Skip the gears, get a converter and some tires. Do some research, after a converter swap, gears won't drop much ET. I barely saw a tenth going from 2.73's to 3.42's when I had bolt ons and a stock converter. Just my $0.02

Vig 3200 stall + underdrive pulley = 12.5 @ 108 MPH on tires.

Not bad at all.

N/A I ran a 12.86 1/4 with mod's in my sig [ I also have 2.73 gears].
I need a tune as the car's running rich and shifting at 5700 rpm's.
With a tune I should be a solid 12.70 n/a, or near 'bouts.

Not bad. How was the weather/elevation? The mph seems a tad low.
