19sec 1/4mile WTF?

14's or 15's.

My car ran 15.9 when I bought it.

For comparison my 07 Focus ZX3 ran 16.72 @ 83mph.

That's more like it. With a shift kit, crank pulley, 3.73 (or 4.10), and better traction you might just squeeze a 14.9.

Obviously your time is in Canadian seconds. When you take the exchange rate into account, 15.63 Canadian seconds is a high 14 in American seconds so congrats!

At any rate, I think with the addition of only 4.10 gears and the appropriate tune, you will be solidly in the 14s. Keep in mind that you don't have much seat time either and this is huge.

Did you try to let the air out of the tires a bit? People on here are saying you need more traction.... no offense to you, and as I think you already know, you're not making a huge amount of power. With practice the stock suspension should be giving you enough bite at your current levels. One thing that will keep the car from getting squirrely on you are subframe connectors. They are real short money and worth every cent! My stock suspension + subframes took me into the 13s.
