350HO runs great, but...
...how much are my 2.73's holding me back in the 1/4?
It feels a lot faster, I know it'd rape my LG4, even at quarter throttle
Traction is decent...but doesn't feel quick down low, this is just because of the gearing correct?
I know I don't need to go 200MPH...
other than that, its amazing...

The gears are killing you.
So is your stock torque converter.
A 2500-2800 RPM stall, plus about 3.42 or 3.73 gears, would make your car unrecognizable. Probably shave at least 3 tenths off of the car's 60' time, if it maintains traction. It will probably need LCA lowering brackets to do that.
