Default tests before rebuild

ok guy before i start heres a list of my mods

k&n cai
twin 52m TB
bbk shorties
holeshot 2400 stall
shift kit
3" exhaust
mad tuner tune

ok my problem is my car is maybe running mid 14's. i can get 2.0-1.9 60 foot times but my mph in the 1/4 is only 90. my car has no top end what so ever. i have a buddy with an identicle but stock 93 and his walks on me on the top end like crazy. my car has 177k on it but the motor is suppose to have 60k-ish. im thinking the guy lied about the rebuild and its just worn out. it doesnt smoke, still runs good, but just a lack of top end. is there any test i can run to see if it needs a rebuild? going to do a compression test next week some time, but wanted to see if there is anything else i can do
