Your car is laying over HARD after the 1/8th mile if that slip is accurate, especially for an F Body.
When mine traps 95mph in the 1/8th it was doing 114-115mph 1/4 and that is considered kinda bad. Normally an Fbody would be in the 118mph range on that 1/8th.
Might be the combo of a small converter, tall gear, and tall tire but if not I would be worried about either the trans slipping in 3rd or something else screwy going on in 3rd.

I never got my 273 car to the track before I sold it but had assumed being a LT's ,catback,lid car it wouldn't need 3rd. I used to hang my 3800sc cars with 293's in 2nd up till about 101 traps above that I needed 3rd so I assumed 273's would be good for close to 110 but 121 in 2nd is silly , don't get me wrong good silly haha
acts like a glide car with 430's lol
