Your modifications would be a big help in responses.
For example, my Formula has 306 rwhp and has run 12.89 @ 107 mph in the 1/4, but the 1/8 mile is 8.32 @ 85 mph I believe.
RWHP doesn't always equal elapsed times. For example, when you swap converters to something looser (bigger stall) than before, the dyno usually shows a loss in rwhp, but that car may run faster at the track because of it finding the powerband quicker. I've personally seen a 10 rwhp loss from converter swaps that the car runs 2-3 tenths faster at the track.
So more info is needed, and be sure to post up your full run information (60 foots, mph, what tires you are using, etc)

My first time ever at a track in 94% humidity, 2k soft launch, granny shifting and hitting the rev limiter in first 3 gears.
434 rwhp/390 rwtq
60ft 2.49
1/8 ET 8.999
1/8 MPH 84.4
1/4 ET 13.31
1/4 MPH 114.55
I am going to go back sometime in October, when its cool and see what I can do.

277rwhp on motor, 430rwhp on juice. i kid you not- THAT'S ALL it has 
. according to a dyno anyway. the timeslips may tell you different. that was unlocked in 3rd gear (D) too.
DYNO RACING SUCKS! how does 430rwhp in a 3500lb car equate to 124mph traps
? from a physic's stand point it DOESN'T! 
i think my 1/8 mile was 7.0's @ 99mph
about that question "what et can a 300rwhp camaro run"- i'd say 11.50-11.60 with a nice light camaro, all geared and stalled up with a dead hook. in a street car? probably 13.5 or so
