sometime fast sometimes not?

my car is weird it runs fast sometimes but other times not so fast.I think it should be alot faster than it is anyway.I think the car should be in the low 14s but i think it runs more like 15.00 I had a formula 350 tpi and i have had a few mustangs and i think i can tell what 14s are anyway if someone can tell me what i should be running with the mods i have or what could be slowing me down i would appriciate it. here are the following mods i have 350 tpi,air foil,3:27 gears,b&m shift kit,under drive pulleys,bbk fuel presure regulator,400hp fuel pump,160 fan switch,180 thermostat,hollowed cat and flowmaster muffler,k&n filter,screens removed from mass air meter,ported upper plenum,screens removed on maf,kyb struts and shocks.

I think you're capable of low 14s with good conditions.

Are there any other symptoms to it not feeling "fast"?

My car seems to be faster when it is cooler outside, but not quite as fast when it is hot out. It likes the cool dense air much better.

its hard to exsplain the car is faster when its cold out and dont get me wrong the car is way faster than when i got it but it seems faster sometimes than others nothing to do with heat and it just lags sometimes like the power is their but its like it needs more gear or something hard to exsplain.
