i'm sure you got the time you claim, plus your car is lighter then mine and you raced in fontana which is almost sea level compare to palmdale which is all the way up in the mountains......
sorry to be soooooo pissy, but it just sucks, i thought my civic would have done better..... i guess i'm not use to these kind of criticisms....
when i was running 5 psi with the stock plugs/exhaust, i thought i was gonna do low 14's. But instead i ran a 15.4 @92 mph. I was pissed. Although i did have a 1.2 sec rxn and a horrible launch (2.6 sec 60 ft.).
I am not a bad driver either, i just hadnt raced since i blew my CRX apart (over a year ago). So i know how you feel.
Now i know i am in the low 14's, just because of my upgraded plugs, exhaust, and more boost!

SRT3 has 215 at the wheels. And i make as much torque as i do horsepower (atleast i did when i dyno'd it), so they wouldnt have much tq over me. Also, more displacement doesnt always mean more torque, and my old dyno sheet showed that.

Actually the SRT is rated 215 at the crank by DCX, but it actually dyno's around 220-230 at the wheels stock. Torque is around the same, I think a little higher, but could be lower.
someone screwed up on the engine dyno!. lol kinda like the 1968 L88 corvette. Said it was 400 hp at the crank when it was actually 510 hp at the wheels.

Just to clear up the numbers on the SRT-4..... The factory claimed 215hp/245t at the crank, when in turn most everone is dynoing at 220ish hp/250ish t at the wheels.
