Trap speed seems slow for the nice weather and those mods.

Full exhaust, what headers? Cats?

How heavy is the car with you in it?

My hugger SS ran 12.84 @ 104 bone stock on stock tires. The same car you raced later on, except it had headers when you guys raced.

Any dyno numbers?

how old are your cats? Might be plugged.

Is your throttle position seeing 100% open?
Any knock retard during runs?

Logging data during runs is essential to tuning a car in. Even with something simple like Autotap.

im pretty sure tb is 100% open. not too sure on the knock. and how big of a diff would it make if i went with an o/r y and eliminated the cats all together?

you would see some gain, but would need another dyno tune

Your kidding right?

I thought porting your MAF was a no no.

Check the plugs, air filter, shift points, as well as what has been mentioned like KR, and throttle position. You won't need a retune if you go with an off road y-pipe, and don't mess with the maf unless you are replacing it. Deleting the cats will get you a little top end power, but will be loud as hell with that cat back... I would think your trap should be around 109 with those mods and maybe more with this cool weather. Do you have a dyno graph you can post up?

yea...definitely dont port your MAF. as for your mph, something is obviously not right on the top end, especially for 3.23 gears...how many miles on the car?
