Question a good estimate on et

This past weekend i took my camaro out for the 1st time since it has been put together.....
70 camaro @ 3300 lbs w/driver..............

it has a superstock 350/290 69 camaro legal ss short block,along with an 850 quick fuel carb and a set of (out of the box) pro-comp allum heads........538 gears and 180 p/g.....

best run ( 1/8 mile ) was 6.82 @99 mph...........
what puzzles me is it had a 1.39 sixty foot time......
i found a problem w/ fuel pressure as at times it was pegging the fuelpressure gauge that was set at 71/2 lbs.......i could see the gauge when it pegged and also could see under scoop and fuel was running out of top of carb...( i know what that meant........ but my question is after i get this fuel regulator changed and it corrects the problem ,what shoud my car run in 1/8 mile with a 1.39 sixty ft ? *****(this car has been on alcohol before i purchased it and probably has killed regulator)..
