Car running too cold?

Hey guys. After readin some recent posts, I cant help but to wonder. My 92 Speed Density 305 is running at about 145-160 at MAX. I really dont think shes running to the full potential. The idle is slightly rough, and the best time pulled was a 14.9.

Yeah, I know its a 305, but with the few mods I have (listed in sig), I feel that I shoulda been mid 14's. It just doesent seem to run right. Granted, Im waaaaaay too paranoid, but the cars only got 43k origonal miles.

See, I can build anything, put anything together, get it to work. My problem is that I cant diagnose little problems for hell!

I havta say that when I put on the AFPR and set it to 48, it started runnin rough. Before that, I had no problems. I lowered the pressure to 42, but it really didnt do anything to help idle quality. I really think i smoked an injector, as I heard the ones used in these years werent all that good.

Any ideas on whats goin on here? Or does this all sound right?

Damn I hope Im not followin in my dad's footsteps and gettin OCD... worryin about every little damn thing.
