Default 2001 Camaro SS Cam only 1/8th mile time seems slow, thoughts?

So have yet to get to the 1/4 mile just been going to a close 1/8th mile track but car seems slow for the mods or am I crazy thinking it should be faster?

So car is a full weight, down to jack and spare Loaded 01 Camaro SS A4.
Mods SLP Lid, SLP crank pulley, 1 7/8 TSP Long Tubes, Custom 3" Y-Pipe, Custom 4" Exhaust to 4" cutout before the axle, then 4" over the axle to spintech muffler to CME Tips, Tick SNS Stage 3 Cam, BTR .660 springs, Circle D 5C converter, mildly built trans, 3.90 gears, Spohn adj T/A, Spohn LCA, BMR lowering springs and a Tune. Running on 15X10 Racestar rears with 26X10.5 ET Sreet R Bias ply, 15X3.5 front race stars with 26" sportmans.

Best ET todate

60ft 1.615

330ft 4.975

1/8th mile 7.76

1/8th mile MPH 90.04

temps were 78-84 degrees through out the day, pretty humid started in the 60% range and got as high as 80% The DA was 2300-3200 over the day.

Is this a decent time for the mods or kinda slow?

Maybe a tad slow but not unheard of

Looks about right to me (for full weight and that DA).

Just my opinion but I would think you would go a bit faster. I run 7.8@88 mph 1.71 60' in the 1/8 D.A 0
Exhaust and yank ss3600

Car is heavy, do not expect much more.

A y pipe and stock intake will always leave some on the table. But it's better to judge how cars were running same track same day. I've seen FBO 5.0's running mid 12 in the 1/4 in 3000 da because the air was shitty.
