106 is quite an improvment over 102. That's roughly 40 hp.

I'm running 85.85 in the 1/8th, I wonder what my 1/4 mph would be? 1.9720 60' time, and 8.45xx et in the 1/8th. I wish I lived close to a quarter track so I could compare. Why don't you list your 1/8 et and mph? those numbers are usually given at the 1/4 tracks also.
