m not looking for a competitive drag car, I just want to replicate the numbers my supercharged brothers are running to make sure there's nothing wrong with my car
That's fair. What size tires, car weight with driver, and torque numbers of your brothers are comparing. We need more information.

Everything adds up. I was recently surprised that my z4mc ran 7 seconds slower than my e30m3 track car. Then I started to add it up:
-600lb less
-sticky hoosiers (but smaller of course)
-suspension 2 times as stiff, that's not taking into account that its 600lbs lighter.
-weight of the car is lower
-btw it is 188 whp.
I don't know much about drag racing but from my understanding, the start is everything just like my corners on the track are EVERYTHING.
