1/4 mile times......

I went to Maple Grove Raceway this past Friday and ran my 91 T II for the first time. Turn out was light so I got 4 runs within an hour and a half, after having to leave the track to buy some long pants(no shorts or tank tops allowed). I was expecting to run in the low 14's from what I heard other people with the same mods were running. here are my times.
1st 2nd 3rd 4th
R/T 1.20 1.22 1.02 .913
60' 2.49 2.70 2.58 2.28
1/4 16.14 16.28 15.76 15.30

I missed 3rd gear on the 1st and 4th run. My R/T time was terrible, I was expecting the tree to go that fast. I have an HKS intake, FCD, Catback, and DP, so I was expecting better, I think my cat is clogged because my Autometer boost gauge shows a max of 7 which is not right after doing these mods. I also meet 1fastT2 at the track, clean looking enginebay, would have liked to see him run but the track banned him for running too fast without a rollcage. Think I'll get the cat removed and install an FD fuel pump then try this again and see what happens...I'll let yall know how it goes.

Um...why is this?

Oh and you should be in the low 14s or less with those mods. But you boost should be alot higher. Maybe your TID is cracked. Just make a Home Depot one and see if it helps.
