low power output with new setup

i dont have any official numbers yet as far as my power output goes. wont get to the dyno till later this week. anyways, i have some lower track mph (last run was 88.34 w/ a 2.170 on street tires) and a few street races thats leading me to believe that i'm not making my full power potential (i knew some of the people raced and what mods they have). ill go over my rockers again tomorrow. however, i have went over them a few times and have the 1.6 promags set at about 1/16 turn (set with vehicle running). i have all new plugs/wires/opti/coil. plugs are set to stock gap (probably gonna switch to a colder heat range and use iridium plugs..just fyi). i'm also in the works of getting a scan/programming program for the vehicle so that i might be able to relay more information about the vehicle as it is running. i am running a stock ignition that might be holding me back. i'm contemplating switching to msd 6al. i'm really at a loss for where to look. the only thing i can think of is that i really need to get my tune adjusted. but could it really be holding me back that much? if you need to know any more information, let me know. i'm looking for advice for other places to look that might be holding me back on power. again, i might have to wait till i can get some datalogs, but let me know. thanks guys.
