Default Need some help, Performance BAD!

I just put on my new slicks and wheels, and went to the track today. My best ET prior to adding slicks was 12.2XX. Today (on the bottle, 150 shot) my best time was a 12.5XX. I was expecting about a low 11 with the spray and slicks. Bottle pressure was low due to temp, but not that low.(about 650-700), Teperature today was about 50 degrees, so I thought what a great oppertunity to lay down a good number.

The Car boggs off the line very very bad. The second half of the quarter it pulls like a freight train. but out of the hole it feels like I am towing a freight train!

On previous trips to the track I experienced tire spin and eventually the car would hook and go, today, I could barely do a burnout. (I have line lock so A burn out was possible) but just nailing the throttle there was nothing. Yes I did have the traction controll off, I tried in competitive mode and with out comp mode, no difference. The oil pres was good the temp was good, all the guages were right where they were supposed to be. The car seems to drive OK and acceleration from about 35 MPH seems to be unaffected.

I need help! I'd hate to have to go to the dealer. I wrench on all my cars myself, and now I have no idea where to look.
