Default I don't get it....

I don't get it. Ran the 1/4 tonight and only got a 14.295 @ 95.54

I suck!

Time is:
.675
2.254 60'
9.208 @ 78.53 660'
14.295 @ 95.54

Shouldn't I have better times w/210 whp? Car is 99 Si stock weight if just a little bit more for stereo, ran it the way I drive it (spare tire, jack, etc.)

Help would be appreciated.

Hmmmmm.. Times are like a lightly modde R. Did you feel the power was down when you ran it (compared to driving regularly)? Even if you get a lot of wheel spin you should have higher trap speeds. Dunno, more info please.

Well, let's see.

Power felt like it was getting down. Had terrible wheel hop, ended up slipping the clutch @ 4500 rpms. Going off my speedo, I was well into 100 by the last light, and well into 4th gear (I'm running the 4.929 KaazFD) Does the 1/8th mile time look good? What more info do you need?

all those times seem to match up pretty well for the final result (i.e., doesn' look like your low or top end is lacking), here's a time slip of my 14.3 for comparison
60' 2.237
330 6.099
1/8 9.269
mph 78.68
1000 12.035
1/4 14.361
mph 96.53

Yeh, but you weigh half of what most people do.

With 200WHP, you should definitely be doing better than 14's.
Here is my times... My ITR is making a tiny bit under 200WHP, and probably a little bit lighter than 2600lbs...

60' 1.822
330 5.305
1/8 8.238
MPH 83.89
1000 10.775
1/4 12.931
MPH 104.63

Maybe you're shifting too early?

Yes, the time from before was on slicks.
Here is a timeslip from about a month and a half ago, on street tires, 1/2 tank of pump gas, weighing in at 2680lbs....

60' 2.166
330' 5.755
1/8 8.743
MPH 82.06
1000' 11.328
1/4 13.532
MPH 102.13

Traps seem low. As do ET's. A 2600 lb SI with 210WHP should run mid to high 13's in the neighborhood of 99-100 mph with ease. Were these runs on street tires? If so, you may want to get some drag radials and work on your 60 ft times. What was the ambient temp at the time? Humidity?
