Have you connected your CT as shown in your first post? That is, the bottom to 2.5V (or VRef/2) and the top to input pin AND - VERY IMPORTANT - a load resistor shown as 33ohms in diagram? You must...
It can't work wired the way you described. The ac signal must be biased by vcc/2 and be less than vcc peak to peak.
If the serial baud rate is too low it will ruin the sample rate.
If the burden...
Why do want a nasty old analogue peak detector, When you can create a digital one as per my code ?
Using the very cct you posted.
If you realy need to try analogue google ""peak detector circuit"...

It's almost Olympics time... so here's a topical program using PBP exclusively (no embedded Assembler) to give you a Stop-Watch with 1/100th Second Timing (yes that's 0.01 of a Second) and gives you REAL-TIME display on your LCD. Now you can do your own timing and challenge the official time...
The program demonstrates using TMR1 in BACKGROUND (multi-tasking), uses PICBasic Interrupts, and accounts for the fact that PICBasic doesn't respond to those Interrupts immediately. There's also a set-Up CALIBRATION menu item, so you can adjust and calibrate your timer to an accuracy of 360mS per Hour.
How does it do all that? Better download the PDF and find out...

Re: YHDC current sensor - the theory please
adjust resister to for the mid current used incase of some nonlinearity... shotkey diode has .3 volt drop
