reasons are
(1)you didn't hook the ---- up right
(2)you can't drive for ----
there are so much ---- involve that causes your car to run slow. Perhaps take it to a dyno and you'll see if it's really running fine rather then sitting in front of your computer getting pissed off?

17.7 ouch, pretty embarresing.. I would definatly check your setup out, your car has to be running like ---- to pull a time like that. Dyno tuning is a good way to get some power.

correct me if im wrong...but when people talk about advancing there timing...they mean the distributor. cuz when i used to have my zc i ran a freakin 17.2 and i fixed the cam alignment(one tooth on the exhaust cam) and all the sudden(after improving my driving skills a lil) ran a 15.6.
