Even if the ET is similar the HC should still have a higher trap than a SS. Your statements in bold...a SS would run similar to a 392 or SRT8. So it stands to reason that if a SRT8/392 is not running a 113 in those conditions then a SS won't either.
Again, the times and speeds seem off for that elevation. His modded SS up against a HC in a roll race should not stand a chance trans for trans. Which is why the HC should have a higher trap speed. I'm not putting the SS down (if that's what you're thinking). I mean, not for nothing but I don't think we need to discuss that the HC and ZL1 both are faster cars than the SS even with boltons. So if he is running identical times and trap speeds in that kind of DA with just boltons then there has to be an explanation. Perhaps the slips will tell the full story. Maybe it was a combination of DA and those drivers not being too good. Either way it is just odd to see a HC trap 113 alongside a SS.

Did you not see that the OP went 114 at the 4900' ASL track and then 123 at low altitude? Shows the effect of altitude changes. Since Hellcats on street tires actually run 120~122 at my low altitude track, it should be obvious why that stock Hellcat only got 113 up there at 4900' ASL. As far as the OP's bolt-on SS running similar mph on the dragstrip to the stock Hellcat in the other lane, that is absolutely possible. My own SS for example, with just a few bolt-ons, ran 11.5@122 on street tires at low altitude. Same mph on street tires as Hellcats are running here on street tires.
