That's your problem right there. Stock TMIC will heat soak quick, causing the car to pull timing and most likely boost in order to prevent detonation. I raced a guy in Boca Raton with a vf22 and stock TMIC. The first race was close, but after several runs, he was loosing power and I was pulling him pretty hard.
