Default Cant break 14s and getting frustrated!

Im getting frustrated with this car every time I go to the track i get almost the same results
14.3-14.8 @ 96-98 mph.
while everytime I talk to a new edge owner they say all I have is.... intake and exhaust and they are running 14.00 and upper 13s
My car feels fine idles fine runs fine revs up fine with no weird noises.
Im launching by stalling to 1700 or so and getting on it asap without spinnign pulling 2.15-2.3 60 foots.
The car was tuned by AM and most of my problems were fixed by the tune and it feels alot better than stock. I have changed spark plug wires coils and plugs with no success at my E/Ts.
I know its a auto but then again those new edge mustangs are autos aswell
all mods are in my sig

I would go get a dyno tune and scrap that AM tune, especially after the PI swap.

Dime's a very good driver, so don't expect to be pulling his times, but with your 4.10s and PI swap, I would think you'd be running at least mid to low 13s. Something's not right.

I know somethings not right I just cant find what. its something that doesnt have to do with a trouble code being thrown. Ill do a compression check sunday if I can get around to it.
My car is a auto so its not like I have to be a amazingly good driver. brush off the tires brake and stall it up and let er rip.
