Cheap Slave Flash Unit


Hi all. I have a Canon 300d, 2 320W studio strobes, and a very cheap slave flash unit for my backlight. the two strobes work perfectly together, using my in-camera flash as trigger. but once I start using the cheap flash with it, my shots are underexposed because the cheap flash goes off late. what am I doing wrong (besides using a cheapo flash :) )?
btw, I try to compensate by adjusting the shutter speed to 2 secs. but it only works for still life and product shots.
