Yesterday was my first time at the track in my Automatic

1992 Si with intake, exhaust, and aem pullies. It ran an 18.2

now I know that the altitude and the automatic would slow me down, but I know it wouldn't be that much. Yes I am doing the auto to manual swap this summer hopefully but there still has to be something wrong with it to be that slow. Where should I start looking? Compression Test, valve readjustment? I don't have a lot of money to get it checked out either. Oh and the engine has 153,000 miles on it but is well taken care of.
