Post How's this for a NA 95GT convertible- opinions/suggestions please

I have an extremely heavy 95GT convertible with these mods:

Edelbrocker Performer intake
AFR 165 heads
1.6 RR's
FTI custom cam
75mm MAF
65mm T-body
15/8" shorty headers
offroad X pipe
2.5" SS flow tubes
dynomax welded race magnums
stock tail pipes
pulleys
24lb injectors
190lph pump
adjustable FPR
HD clutch
4.10 gears
subframe connectors
4 point hooker car bar
subframe connectors
Nitto DR's

Stock the car went 15.2 at 90mph. With a few bolt ons like pulleys, gears, and exhaust I went 14.6 at 94.8mph. With the intake, T-body, headers, and nitto's it went 13.8 at 98mph. I just added the heads, cam, and fuel upgrades with the hope or trapping 105mph. With my weight, it would take roughly 350FWHP to achieve this. Well tonight, on my third time out with the car, I did it. Here's my run:

R/T: .549
60': 1.950
330': 5.576
1/8th: 8.563
mph: 82.47
1000: 11.127
1/4: 13.273
mph: 105.09

I was in disbelief when I got my timeslip, but I made two passes tonight, the other resulted in a 13.37 at 105.17mph with a 1.99 60'. I'm really impressed with my car, especially since it is a 95 with the screwed up computer that pulls tons and tons of timing between shifts, and its a heavy convertible. JFYI- to put into perspective the differences between a coupe and convertible, my cousin has a 94GT, stock it went 14.8 at 93mph, so that tells you how much of a disadvantage the convert's weight is! Is there anything else besides a chip that I can do to get a little more? With 38lbs of fuel pressure, I got a lean code and it runs really warm, so when I got to the track I upped the fuel to 41lbs, and shifted at 6000rpms. Last week with shift points of 5500 and 38lbs of fuel I ran a 13.5 at 104.4mph, so it evidently liked the fuel. Anyone else think this is pretty impressive for a stock bottom end 302? Thanks for you opinions.
Paul
