Default Is something wrong?

Not sure where to put this thread, but mods can move it of in the wrong place.
So, just finished up a lq4 build, that is stock bottom end, with ported/polished 243 heads. Had Martin@Tick spec me a cam. LS6 intake, 42lb injectors, all bolts ons, long tubes. Running a th350 with 4.10's and a FTI36-3800 converter. Nitrous Outlet plate kit 150hp shot.
Car is full weight, with 3 way adj rears, lca's and got some qa1 r series to go up front. Also have racestars skinny up front with 27x11.5x15 qtp's.
So I took the car to the track tonight and it ran best of 7.80's on motor, and 7.10's on 150 shot with 6 degrees pulled. Size ft times were high 1.70's on nitrous. Track was not optimal, but does it seem like the car should be running better than this??? This is almost identical to the old setup which was stock ls1 with 853 heads ans just a cam and nitrous.
Any suggestions are appreciated!!

Need to post the timeslips. Need to know the MPH along with the ET.

Also, add your location under your username. That is more info that always helps. Everyone needs to add their location, saves a lot of questions.
