Default i am sad about my setup. what i have to work on?

yesterday i raced 1/4 mile with 94 hatch with b16/b20 swap. accordingly info on inet he has to have aroung 185 whp. i have 94 sedan with d16z6 with t3 48/42. for fuel management - uberdata. afr under boost - 12.8-11.
and he won, but i thought he will not. =/ why my car so slow? may be reason be in my ghettoest intercooler wich made from and radiator?

You could always buy a "Real" radiator from some members on here. You can find 'em real cheap.

i have around 9 psi. my turbo is t3 42.48. autocrap manifold. internal wastegate is set around 7 psi. i am using apex avc-r. (i dont know but that thing is piece of ----. with his duty cycle i am unable to setup normal boost. it;s allwways spiking). i have radiator as front mount intercooler =) and custom 2.25 exhaust. i have no timeslips, but owner of that b20 hatch sad that his best result was 13.7 sec 1/4 mile. i lost him 5-6 bodies at the end. i thought that i will be at least very near from him. =/

one more thing...I have seen that most EG civic's are faster then EK civic's even with the same setup...I guess the EG maybe lighter

post pics of your radiator FMIC... i swear that wouldn't work unless you put metal around the hole thing to actually hold in air...
