WTF? 14.6 @ 96mph
https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=435084
I purchased this car and only thing I have done is correct the vaccuum lines alittle(still a leak some where).
Given that I do suck at launching this car. I haven't got a real chance to learn it yet; it only boost up to 8psi; even then the car shouldn't be that slow. My old s4 T2 had a s5 turbo and manifold, CS Exhaust and presilencer, FCD, walbro 255 ran a 13.88.
This car is Street ported, bnr stage 1, 3rd gen fuel, 2.5" dp, apexi n1 exhaust, vaccuum leak, greddy 2 row fmic and it feels sluggish.
on the upside, I can drift this **** like no other.

thats what I was boosting 8PSI on stock turbo and 2.5" exhaust then I upgraded to a 3" got a MBC and was running 12PSI, till the other night when I blew my 147,000 mile stock turbo.........now im going s5 turbo.
I was very suprised at the change from 2.5" DP to a 3".

fix your car, run 13 or 14psi and be happy. 8 psi on that turbo is nothing. why upgrade turbos and only run 8psi?

If you are wanting some help looking for the leak I'd be happy to help. I'm a little busy normally but I'm sure I can make some time to look at it. It sounds like the turbo is a little big to only be running 8 psi which is likely the cause of your disapointment.

unless your car is running 100% dont take it to the track, because you'll only let your self down, not to mention you join the "woulda-shoulda-coulda" crowd.
