your 60's are horrible! sorry bud. thats what my timeslips from my SS/NA look like.
21 PSI is too low for radial street tires. i would run about 26-28. other than that i dont know. a little wheel spin out of the hole may help, get the wheel speed up. also what is your elevation? i see your in colorado.
remember, if you lose time in your 60 foot, you cant make that back up, it will just domino down the track. you can always slow down, but you cant make it go any faster than it already is.

Two questions, what are other cars running/trapping at your drag strip (other cobalts, newer mustangs, etc.)
You don't mention a wideband gauge in your mods, or an interceptor. What are your a/f and IAT2s?
if you don't know your A/F, that can have a big affect on power, and same for your IAT2s, if your IC pump is dead, your not going to make much power.

I think the track is 5280. its right outside of denver.
I dont have a wideband, I have a narrowband, which dosnt help, says im running rich, but when my tuner looked over my tune he said im only running a lil rich, no biggy.
When I run 24psi tires and a lil higher I get severe hop. Tonight felt great, no hop at all.
I have no idea about my ic pump, is there a way to check it?
I know im at 100% on these 42's, but does that matter?
Ive made over 40 passes this season on this set up and its the same result.
on the street it rips, ive taken some faster 1/4 cars on rolls.
Im lost. I hate it. I should be in the mid 14's atleast. these 60 foots are killing me.

check the t bottle in front of the blower and see if the water is moving in there, if not your pump is dead. your 60 foots are not killing you, i ran a 2.3 60 in my car and went 14.4 at 100 your car is just not making power. the altitude sucks but you are f/i so you should only lose a couple mph at the traps. 92 mph is unacceptable
For starters, put the stock intake back on and get a 3" pulley. The injectors are probably going static and the car is pulling a SHITLOAD of timing.
That 3" exhaust really is overkill with the mods you have. I bet it's KILLING your exhaust's velocity.

HE IS RACING IN COLORADO AT ALMOST 6,000FEET!
Jesus ******* christ, what is so hard to see here. Your problem is your elevation. You are making about all you can at the elevation you are at.
Take a trip down to Topeka or KC and run 13's all day long. Make a short vacation out of it.

^definitely not the problem.
There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with his exhaust, in fact, it's perfect for a supercharged car.
His tune sounds like it should be great if the people he claims tuned him did in fact tune him.
He does need bigger injectors, but that's not what's causing his slower than normal times.

Ralli, you really think thats the best im gonna get out of her up here. I have a friend whos balt I installed the stage 2 on, pretty much same mods as me, except exhaust, clutch, and my tune. And she can run 14.7's all day.
I thought it was just my driving, which I know has alot to do with it, but I feel as if ive found the sweet spot launch now, the 60 foot arent reflecting that, but it feels awesome.
And matt did my tune, I logged it and sent them to him a lil over a month ago and he said my tunes fine, just need to jump to 60#s.
Im ordering the new ic pump today, that makes a lot of sense to me, never seen the fluid flowing thru the T. And since im running both stock and cobra wouldnt my pump kinda be working a lil overtime to push it thru?

I would blame alot of it on the elevation your at, however blowers and turbos stuff the air in so its not as huge a difference of N/A. Your still picking up 20-22 hp on the big end so your making power, unless your tune is messed up in the first and second gear range. Your 60 isnt bad like some have said but its not good either, could use some work. Seems like you should still be trapping more at least.
