Message Tonight was my second time going to the drag strip, ever (street legals). And I got disappointing results AGAIN!

I have a jwt pop charger, ecu (w/ boost jets, ~ 13 psi), B&B 2.5" exhaust, and Greddy Intercoolers.

Timing is set ~ 14.5-15 degrees TDC.

Elevation here is ~ 2200ft above sea level, and ambient temperature was around 23C (73F).

My first and best run tonight was:
R/T .609
60' 2.291
330 6.094
1/8 9.256
MPH 78.34
1000 11.953
1/4 14.207
MPH 100.10

This was slightly better than my previous best three weeks ago of 14.4s @ 100mph. Since the last time, I had discovered what I thought might have been a boost leak and fixed it, and then cleaned my pop charger (which had been filtly). I was expecting much better results tonight, mind you it was hotter outside this time.

I'm not so worried about my ETs since that's skill and practice, but the trapspeed worries me. Aren't Stage 3's supposed to be running ~ 107 mph?

Could my clutch be slipping? What else could be amiss here?

Thanks!
