Your 60' could be better...

I'm guessing you have a boost leak, or shift rediculously slow.

Should do 5-6 more mph on straight 93 with 23psi. Some of the mods are just overkill and do nothing for you (280 cam, cam gear, injen intake, invidia o2, Ti exhaust), but even the basic mods should make way more power. Maybe it's a case of just getting too many mods and making it too complicated by spending too much unnecessary money. Did you run when stock to get a baseline? Did you run with minimal mods to see progression? If your only data point is NOW after all those mods, then there's no way to know if your car was weak from the factory, if the cam and gear messed it up, if there are major boost leaks everywhere, if your driving is poor and includes extremely slow shifting. There's just no way to know any of this without more data.

My wide band read10.00 on pump gas at wot i think is way to rich. but i am not a tuner. I was going to get rid of my safc now i'm going to keep it for fine tune.

You hit 113mph with less mods, care to share exactly how many mods you have in comparison, surely you have intake and exhaust cams?

Also SILVER9, your time and traps are way off pace in my opinion and it's not just the heat. I can understand if you ran on straight pump gas and lower boost, but something is wrong. The heat may take away two to three miles, but that still would put you at 109-111MPH in cooler weather which would be just decent for pump gas (still should be faster), but not decent for race gas and 26PSI. Somethings wrong, I think some parts on your car aren't all they are cracked up to be, but still you should be a lot faster. You should have a 11 second car with good driving, and a lot higher trap speeds. Again something is wrong.
