official 1/4 mile track times

What I don't understand is with a 60ft of 2.2 and a trap of 106, almost 107 why my times were so slow. Comparing my trap and 60ft with others I should have been a lot faster.

Car only has a true dual CBE, rpf1's and HTR Z3's which are a lot lighter than stock and I weighed in at only 3125lbs which is down from 3361lbs with a full tank of gas and stock everything. 2013 sport 6mt.

Again the trap and 60ft are there, just not the 1/4 mile time.

Temp got down go 73, 66 humidity, 30.10 DA, elevation 903ft.

Any thoughts or what I'm missing here?

Shifting at redline, dropping only down to high 5's, 6000rpm. They were fast and smooth. I've been doing this awhile haha. Not every time but I did get some chirps in 1-2 and once or twice 2-3. My 1/8 was around 80mph so comparing that to others I'm picking up more speed than they are on the back half. For example I saw a guy run 82mph but only trapped 103 but ran a 13.5.

If it means anything my track is ****. It no different than running on a bumpy street. However my 99si managed 13.8 all motor, wrx bone stock 13.3 at 101.
