What do I have this Mechanic look at????

Ok, I am getting new 3:73 gears installed for a good price of $100, and my car doesn't seem to be as fast as I think it could be 15.86@ 93mph, I just had the tranny rebuilt but the 1-2 shift drags out so I am going to have him look at it, also I am going to get him to tune my carburetor ( it's running rich), what else should I have him look that will hopefully explain why my car is slower than an a 305, I was thinking maybe the distributor but that is fairly new along with new plugs and wires, any suggestions would be appreciated.
