I'm not into drag racing...otherwise I'd have times. I do, however, enjoy turning and braking...on a road course.

Who ported the heads and what do they flow?

Where did you get that cam, and what are the specs on it?

He has an Lt4 cam, but i think the problem is his inconsisten launches.

I just don't get it, he should still be faster than what he is. I mean his fastest is 13.6 and he is consistently in the 14s after that

Lots in the launch with that kind of combo.... Good launches will probably get solid mid-low 13s.....

But I see a few things that need attention:

- Edelbrock headers..... (these things blow)
- Cam.... (needs to be bigger )
- Tires.... (If drag racing is gonna be the thing to do with that car, must have at least DRs - preferably ET Streets)
- Air intake... (not sure if it is like the picture or not right now, but that thing will kill a bunch of power for ya... If it has the TPI intake duct now, disregard this one)

Has it been dyno tuned? Or at least tuned with a wide band O2 of some sort for WOT? If not, there's another thing to do.

Some ideas......

For what he has 103MPH is about right. Is he running those 255/50r16 radials with the 4.56 gears? Tell him to get a better tire and get rid of the 4.56. A swap to 4.10 or even 3.73 would improve his launch and improve both ETs and MPH. The engine can't rev fast enough to keep up with that gearing.
