Am I doing something Wrong here????

OK, last night I went to the drag strip and was surprised and completely let down. On my first pass I rolled into the beams and launched from idle to go 13.76 @ 102.
After about an hour I made my second pass i tried to stall the car by bringing the rpm's up, but It wouldn't come up over 1000 rpm with my foot to the floor. WTH? I am thinking. I ran a 14.10 @101. 3rd pass was a 14.15 @101. 60' times were 2.1, 2.3, 2.5. No burn out and no spin at all track was prepped really well.
The car is stock tune with a KN cold air and a Magnaflow cat back.
My question is why won't the car load up on the converter? I don't even think I can be a burnout the way it sits. haven't tried since I have only had the car for a month. And yes I had the traction control off in comp mode.

HELP PLEASE THIS THING IS A SLUG OUT OF THE HOLE!!!!

A friend ran that with his auto when he went his first time. Have you done the fuse pull? 93 or 91 octane?

Did you have all nanny's off which requires you to hold button for 7-10s. If it didn't let you above 1000 rpm you had something on.

If those trap speeds are not in high DA then I say you need a fuse pull and/or better gas. Either that or something else is a miss. Your car is down a good 50RWHP or more from SAE conditions would be my guess from seeing those trap speeds.

I didn't do any of the above. I drove it to the strip, and I guess I ran it with the traction control on. I tried a launch with out the T/C on and well lets just say Its way better. I feel dumb now. Ha, but I still beat a new 2015 5.0. so not all bad.

Just follow the instructions here. You should feel the difference even in daily driving. If this doesn't help, back to the drawing board. Just make sure you are running and have been running 93 octane.

Sorry for the dumb question... what do you mean by "nannies off"?
