Dinan Stage 2 X5 50i 1/4 time?

So here are a few data points for a Dinan Stage 2 on my 2011 X5 50i.
Dyno test 480 lb-ft at the wheels.

Bradenton Raceway in Fla, head wind, 85F. 60ft- 1.991, 1/8mi time 8.767s, 1/4mi time 13.638s 100.91mph. Was hoping for better but with the headwind and 85F temps this is what I got.
However, raced against a new 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT 4 times where he was doing low 14s, blew him away 4 times until he tapped out and said I don't want to run against you any more. I felt sorry to depress the proud new SRT owner but for me............Priceless. So I guess that my point is that numbers can be very subjective and it is more important to race other cars under the same conditions.
Have no idea what my 0-60mph time is and don't know how to measure it without some high $ electronics. Anyone have any suggestions?
