Ford Engine HELP ???

I have my car finished, and am strugling to get the engine to perform as it should. Or maybe I am asking too much from it. A short rundown of the car..

90 Mustang, mini tubbed, 28x10.5's, 3.73 gears, coil overs, adjustable rear suspention, full cage, tubular front end with adjustable coil over struts. Car wieghs in at 2850#. I am currently running a c-4 trans built with all the good stuff, and a 4800 BTE converter.

Motor is a 306 with KB hyperutectic 9.5:1's canfield aluminum heads, CNC ported 2.05/1.6 valves, parker funnel web intake, 750 carb, Stock block, Stock rods, stock crank. I use a MSD distributor, and a 6al box. The engine currently has a mid 500 lift hydrolic roller in it.

I have seen Stock and Super Stock cars with stock heads, cams run faster than I am currently going.

Car has been a best of 11.96 @ 119mph

What do I need to do to get the car to go 10.7's?

According to one of them slide rule calculators, I am only making 300HP, I would have thought this motor would have been higher.

Any Help would be greatly appreciated.
