You should be trapping around 108 in the 1/4 with that setup. Good for mid 12's with a good 60 ft.

It could, I've had several friends run the hot cam and all were around 108-110 in the 1/4. What rpm do you shift at?

I think that's pretty good for bolt ons and 3.23 gearing. As mentioned, add some drag radials, looser converter and I would step up to a 3.73 gearing.

I could not tell you a true number since I do not know how much the tranny slips. A properly built converter will not be an issue at all.

the spectators probably called it a dog because you ran with the cutout open making the car sound a hell of a lot meaner than it really was.

Yeah see no good bro.....
try changing the fluid and filter but I am sure you are in need of a rebuild at this point. need to clear up my previous post..... a fresh transmission and have your converter inspected makes sense and you will see a difference.

200 for the trans, I had to swap my original out 2 years ago when I lost OD, 3k rpm on the highway sucked *** lol. So I know the feeling of needing another trans, just not a fan of how hard they shift with shift kits at all.

That trans is not gonna work in your car man....

You have a '93 which had the one year only 4L60/700R4. It is non electronic. You have to have your specific trans rebuilt or find another '93 trans. Welcome to owning a '93 LT1.
