Need a little more motor info. like cam duration and head flow and cc specs. Looks to me that your carb maybe too small.

dont be to quick to judge it yet,a sorry prep track will cause some sorry times starting with the 60 ft times and the rest will follow.

You don't need 4.56's and your tires are way too short.
Get a 28"-29" tall tire on there
and it sounds like the 4.10's where perfect.
I would still run a taller tire than 26"
A bigger carb (like a 750) would help out too.

You definitely shouldn't be running out of motor in the 1/8. Sounds like you have a lot of converter slip if you're only going 88 mph @ 6100. Since the incrementals are down all the way down the track I'd be looking at the motor for the lost performance.
