Default 8psi, 3000rpm stall.. ran a 9.08 in the 1/8th mile.. why can't I win?

I figured I should be running WAY faster than this. Tune was done in person by nelson performance. The 9.08 in the 1/8th mile converts to a mid 14 second in the 1/4 mile. I figured I should be running hopefully in the 12's with my setup, once everything is worked out (I've been working out the bugs for the past 3 months).

So, is 8psi and running a 14 second 1/4 mile normal?

my 0-60mph was a 5.52 second

my fuel pressure would run up to 70psi once I go, then lower down to 68psi and stays there constant. My afr is dead set at 11.01 the whole time. I'm using an edge racing torque converter, I'm not sure if that is slipping or not- it doesn't feel like it

I don't know the 60' it was on a track that they weren't running any timing system. I was using my aeroforce interceptor to track everything. I hooked real good, launched it from about 2500rpm brake stalling I couldn't flash the converter as I wouldn't get traction at all doing that. I took off w/ about 3lbs of boost from the start

the MPH at the end of the 1/8th was 79mph


I was running against a 2011 stage 2 subaru wrx (I don't even think it was an STI) and he put about a car on me

what should I be EASILY running with this setup?

Let's put it this way... My 2.8, four-cylinder, Colorado will run a 9.5 all night n/a. You should be WAY faster than that. Even with that launch, that's too slow for your mods. How accurate is the Aeroforce, though? I've never owned one, but it can't imagine it being too far off.

I couldn't imagine it being too far off either, as it goes off of the speedometer/tire size to measure out the distance of the 1/8th mile and 0-60mph

You really can't go off the Aero force too much. If you start to move at all after you push the button when your brake stalling, it will start the clock and give you a bogus slow number. It's a hit or miss thing. Some times for me, it shows right on and other times I'm way slow, just depends on when it started its clock...
