Re: should i be upset or ok with it
Did you go all the way with the cam and valve train? It was just a stock LT4 cam? It does seem a tad low, but it depends on a lot of different factors. Do you have a good dyno tune? All this stuff matters a lot, which I am sure you already know.
Re: should i be upset or ok with it
I'd be looking for more. My stock long block and bolt ons before boost was getting me 110-112 trap speeds. But I'm at sea level and have a 3rd gen body.
You could be picking up some knock from the headers. And a dyno tune would help. Nice 60 though.

I also did 1.6 full roller rockers and .600 lift drop in springs,255lph fuel pump an had pcm 4 less tune ecm.other than that engine is stock an has 108,000 miles on it.I was launching at 3600,shifting a 6000 tires where at 15psi.it was 93 degrees an 85% humidity.
Re: should i be upset or ok with it
so i don't see any work done on the heads,are they stock?
If so then I think it ran good considering the heat and humidity.
Get the heads done and it should fly.

Re: should i be upset or ok with it
You ran out of steam. A lot of variables here and testing and seat time are a must
One track time cannot answer weather your car was running what it should or shouldn't
What was your 1/8th mph? Btw. I'm figuring 89 to 90. If so that is only 15 mph gain
Out back. So you could have valve train issues excessive tire growth from temp
Fuel going lean timing issues or like what was said before dense hot air is very bad
I like to see more track times
