Went to the strip last night.
Went to the drag strip last night for the second time. first time i went i was stock and managed to get a 13.448@100.2 with a 1.85 60'.
Since then i added a turboback with test pipe, drop in filter, and works p2 reflash. the best i ran was 13.2@104 with a 1.82 60'. i was really wanting a 12 but it didnt happen. the first time i went i was about 60 degrees out and like 15% humidity, last night it was 78 degrees and 60% humidity.

So the mods i put on should take almost a full second off of my time? what kind of trap speeds should i see?
Also i think i might have put to much race gas in and ran to rich. i had 5 gal of 110 left over from my STi so i dumped it in with about 3 gals of 91 oct.

Warrtalon has some good pointers for getting the most out of our cars.
I have a similar set up and well I shift slow and smooth, I cant seem to shift fast in the Evo, rather I havent gotten it perfect. But its all in the shifting. Best I did was a 13.01 @ 106 with similar conditions. (I am planning on going out again before the end of the year to get the shifts and point down, I also am installing a shift light to I hit it more exactly. See if that helps me more.)
But back to your question. Shifting - faster the better, and did you have the 5K limiter on? I use it as my stutter box, works quite well for me. I was able to pull off 1.7x launches. But many swear with it off you can get better times. I lean towards that but I fear eatting some expensive parts.
I dont believe adding the race gas effects the richness of your fuel. It does help with knock control. So thats a good thing.

With TBE, tune, and race gas, you certainly are capable of mid 12s and 108-109mph on a good launch in cool weather (<80*). With boost control and the ability to remove fuel, you can run what I'm running (12.1-12.2) with standard 1.7x 60's, and that's in 95-degree weather.

You said you ran 13.44 at only 100mph in stock form on 91oct, right? That's an amazing time for 91oct and only 100mph after a 1.85 60', so that indicates incredible driving skills. YOu then added a p2 flash with TBE and gained 4mph, but only .2s despite a slightly better 60'. Now, you're saying you had a mix of 110/91 on the 13.2 at 104 that included mods, right? That is not at all consistent with your stock times, because the race gas mix should make a large difference, as should the TBE. Now, I don't know what all is included in a P2 flash, so maybe you didn't gain much, because you have no control over your boost nor your tune.
