Default Seemed slow? Sanity check

Hi there,
Just wondering is someone can sanity check this set up. I was running at Eastborne in the 13.5 support class this weekend in 1/10 touring cars, and I never seemed on the pace, a good 1.2 sec off per lap. A good lap was 13.5 sec. (OK, on the straights as well as the rest of the track )...

The track is fairly small, but I was getting done by the end of the straight after having a good few car lengths advantage at the start....

13.5 GM motor (fixed timing at whatever they fix it at)
Tekin RS Pro
FDR 5.25 (I was a tenth quicker with an FDR 5.48)
Temps 46-degC after 6 mins (started 28-30, pretty much the same with 5.48, it was 36 degC with FDR of 5.73)
I had a small heatsink and no fan

I haven' got a Hotwire yet (please send more to the UK) so couldn't get access to Boost.

Was I under geared? I went up one pinion through each of the rounds.
Am I suffering from everyone else having "boost".

Comments appreciated.

By the way, brakes were really good.
