Nothing at all surprising about his e/t or mph. A properly driven and launched 5.0 should be capable of 12:70s-12:80s. I don't think you did anything wrong it's just the 5.0 is a more efficient 1/4 mile car than the SS in most races. When I had my SS I had similar mods to yours (LS3) I got tired of being beaten by stock 5.0s as well. I upped my game and went for a cam, LT, DRs setup. The problem I had then was that lightly modded (tuned & DRs) 5.0s were still beating me.

What tires were you running, did you try to adjust launch rpm, it seems with a 3500 stall you should have a better 60'
