Guitarport latency problem

I've had a Guitarport for a good while now, since they first came out. I've used it some for practice along with iTunes, but have never used it for recording. Line 6 was offering a 30 day trial of PodFarm 2.0, so I thought I would give it a whirl. I'm doing a solo instrumental next weekend. I use Band-in-a-Box to generate a midi-backing track and then record guitars along with it. I have a Fostex MR8... I record the BIAB tracks to wave files, download them to the MR8, and record guitar, bass, acoustic, then upload the live tracks and mix them using PowerTracks Pro (made by the BIAB folks, they work well together). It's a fairly complex process, but has worked for me in the past. It was pretty tricky (at least for me) getting PowerTracks to recognize the Guitarport/PodFarm... I know almost nothing about ASIO/VST plug-ins. The result was, well, garbage. The latency was horrible. I would play a note.... and then hear it, which made it sound off from the backing tracks. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? Also, with PodFarm what I was hearing was the raw note and not the note through the amp/effects models. It was cool because I could "re-amp" the track, but hearing the models affects how I play. Does anyone have a solution for this? Or should I junk it all and not spend the money on the PodFarm and stick with what had been working?
