Default need help

Hey guys!

Need some help, badly even though its not my f body but was wondering if someone would give some suggestions. time and mph seem off to me!

84 Malibu 4 door

its has a 406 sc with a .543 comp cams blower camshaft
motown heads 2.05/ 1.60
eagle forged bottom end with 11:1 comp.
6" h beam rods

big ten bolt rearend with 4.56
28x9 slicks on 8" rims

stock upper and lower arms for rearend
tires on 11 lbs.
stock front and rear shocks

on hp shifting at 6500
7.63 et
89.5 mph

on hp shifting at 7000
7.60 et

on nos (250) shifting at 6500 (light) 6800
6.912 et
101.026 mph

what i am getting at is .72 on 250hp is not worth it, normally we get a sec out of nos. and the time to mph does not add up to me

but here is the tickets

HP

.068 reaction
1.60 60ft
4.895 330ft

7.63 et
89.5 mph

NOS

.043 reaction
1.563 60ft
4.84 330ft

6.912 et
101.026 mph

looking at some changes

more tire maybe a 28x10 or 10.5
drag shocks on the rear (50/50)

was wondering about front limiters or something because car gets on the rear hard.
