I was still getting 115 or so when I was bone stock on the stock 18" hollowspokes. Unfortunately, I didn't do any runs with the stock 18"s and the exhaust. The 19" wheels hurt your trap speed as they are more rotational mass. Rotational mass is a bad thing when you are trying to drag race (which is why most go with lighter wheels/tires, flywheel, driveshaft, etc). Even then, I still hit 116.25 with just an exhaust (good power gains) and the 19" wheels (hurts your trap speed).

Do you still have the stock diverter valves? Perhaps a small boost leak? Exhaust will really help you, however. It will allow for the turbos to spool more quickly and breathe easier.
