Your times compared to your power sucks because you have not touched the drivetrain. You could have spent a LOT less on three things, and would be kicking your own *** right now, at a lot cheaper
-A bigger stall
-Tranny cooler
-Stickier tires (probably drag radials for now)
Honestly if it was me, I would sell the blower for a converter + cash
Horsepower and torque do not make you go fast. Horsepower, torque, and putting it to the ground makes you go fast. Keep that in mind, you need a LOT of work on your car in terms of drivetrain and chasis/suspension to make that power you have worth anything. But in time, you will be just fine

Man you should be running way better than that. I would suggest the tune, because that seems like part of the problem. and the other part would be you. If you learn to drive your car your times will greatly improve...Just remember practice makes perfect, I sucked huge ones when first went to the track, and I still do. We all have room for improvement. Get the tune.
