First thing I would do is fix the problems you have now. Get the tranny fixed and then see what she does. haveing no second gear must have something to do with you losing. I was trapping 102mph when I was pretty much stock .
Well for one why would you race with no 2nd of course if your at 2k in 3rd and he's at 3k in second he's gonna pull on you at that low of rpm in that gear with a stock stall and a high reving cam you need about a 3600 stall and rev to about 6500 to get the best out of that cam and get your trans fixed.

First, obviously having no 2nd gear is going to be a big hit, fix that first.
Second, the stock stall with cc306 is just a terrible combo, imo you should have upgraded the converter before the cam. The stock stall will make it real difficult to stay in the high power band of the 306.
Third, you could definitely benefit from a dyno or street tune with a cammed car.
