Default help with 1/4 times.... something isnt right...

i have this feeling something is not quite right with my car..... or maybe its me..


the best time i can seem to get with my mods (in sig)
BTW: i have an Auto

60--2.0
1/8--8.7
ET:13.535 @ 102

the car seems to fall on its face off the line.. almost feels like its bogging..
i have tried power braking it and just punching it.. and get the same result each time.. the car will leave the line rather slow almost as if it is only getting about 3/4 throttle... i cant even get the tires to spin even if i try

any ideas?
