Dont be too disstressed Randy. As everyone else has stated, the charger is not summertime friendly. And yes, nitrous work alot better in the summer time. There is a more drastic difference in my motor and n2o times in the hot months as opposed to the cool ones. The time slip you posted is nearly identical to my best motor pass back in feb when it was in the low 50s. A few weeks ago, even after the converter, my best was only a 14.62 @ 90. Just be patient for some cool weather this fall and I am sure you will see 13s.

When I ran with just the Whipple and Gibson headers, I pulled a 14.4 @ 95 with a 2.2 60'. That was before the Vig and the built tranny. Your mph sounds about right with the Whipple, but with your gears and converter...you should be at least in the mid to high 13's IMO. If you get some sticky tires and cut some 1.8-1.9's, you should be in the 13's.

By the way, with just the addition of the Whipple, I gained 1.2 seconds and 7mph in the 1/4.
