Default Is there a way to wake up a Tbird TC

I took my '87 Turbo Coupe to the drags to see what she'll do. I could not break 17.0 with 10 passes. Factory says its suppose to be 190 HP. On paper that should be 15s.

Its a five speed, boost goes to 15 PSI (spec), shifted at 5500, compression's in spec, 92 octane, no spinning, doesn't burn oil, mobil 1 oil..... What gives?

The 5.0 guys have tips for the 8-bangers, how 'bout the 4-bangers. Like ign timing, chips, filters, fuel pressure, exhaust, plugs.... anything. I love the car, but...
