Also what altitude track are you at. What is your raceweight.Buddy with simlar mods on his 94z got best of 13.8 with 2.0 60ft on old bfg drags. I can't see you getting under a 2.0 without gear and stall. We are at 1700 feet.
Altitude and temp and bar pressure and wind all make a difference ,humidity too.

But seriously if you expect 13s and especially low 13s you need some power mods..get some headers.macs or long tubes..get a nice 2800 or 3200 or so stall. Gears helped me going from 2.73 to 3.42 knocked off three tenths or so.

Get a cutout for the track that is usually good for a tenth. Headers and stall should put you way down in the 13s..
Your mph is a bit low too..this could be tune related or altitude or weight etc. Your mph is close to my heavy 3800 raceweight vert with simlar mods.
And again am at 1700 feet. I had headwind last time I ran. Got 14.3 at near 96 with a 2.18 on nittos track prep sucked that day and track isn't the best.
Mods at the time were 3.42s,tb bypass,magnaflow catback,slp fan switch,hpp tuning out,maft ,thats about it.
This season so far have added 2800 vig and asp underdrive balancer and have some old bfg drags sold the nittos. Hoping for a mid thirteen this year and if the above don't do it have 1.6 pro mags,CC305 and zex wet to throw on.
I agree, i have all the stuff he is talkin about, 2800 stall headers exhaust, and even the hot cam kit and i am deep in the 13's. But i would imagine that my problem is the 2.73 gear. Once that gets changed, i expect 12.8's all day long... maybe better.
