slow 0-60 times

Lately Ive been doing 0-60 times and the best I could come up with is a 7.93. This is with my dad timing it in the car so its not incredibly accurate but I still think I should be running faster with the mods in my sig.

Are these times normal for most people or is something wrong with my car that I should check??

I was feathering the clutch at idle, no dumping at any rpms what so ever.
