What should i be running, 1/4

I have a 92 rs lo3 with the following mods

flowmaster cat-back(bout 10hp)
catco hi-flow cat(5-8hp)
custom ram-air(not much hp added)
k&n filter(3-5hp)
3.42 gears(.2-.4)
slp take-off posi(.1-.2)
hotchis sfc(0-.1)
spohn adjustable lca's(0-.1)
lca relocation brackets(.1-.2)

Im taking it to the track in a few and i want to see if im running what im suppose to be running. I just started racing and i cant even hit the stock 1/4 times on g-tech even with all my mods. If i dont feather the throttle ill spin like crazy until about third gear. The g-tech times however are not very accurate due to uneven dusty roads that they were done on. And the fact that my dads taurus se's 0-60 time was over a second from what it should be.

next mod=nitto drag radials then comes the 350!! and even more traction problems

with all that susp work u have problems hooking up??? i had 3.73s/headers/chip/ignition/k&n/catback on my l03 and had NO problem hooking up. nice choice of the 3.42s the 3.73s made me bog,i ran a 15.5 @ 88mph i think, not bad for a RS. um id say youd be around there.

I believe the main reason i have trouble hooking up is the roads. Ive noticed on some roads i hook pretty good but on others i spin badly, even with my suspension mods which has me kinda dissapointed, even though i havent tried adjusting my lower control arms yet. I even bought the relocation brackets along with the lca's and still have traction problems!! But im pretty sure that my car can do mid 15's at least its just these damn desert roads and the fact that ima rookie in the launching department.

btw
what did you do for your custom ram-air, i did the one listed in the tech articles but it didnt seem to make much of a difference.
