A good tune up will do your car wonders. It is running REALLY slow for the amount of mods you have put into it. Nxxt step is gears/cam/computer chip. That should net you some solid 12s on a well running car. No need to touch the heads to do 12s

Yeah, your time is slow, especially for your 60'. Look into gears, cam, and CAI (i didn't see it listed). A computer tune should really help. There isn't anything wrong with your car is there?

You really need a CAI if you dont have one! You have the exhaust flowing well but its not going to push as much air as its capable of if its not getting as much air its capable of pushing. You should be 102-103 I would think and mid 13's. I ran a 14.1 spinning like crazy with a 2.3 60' @ 101 and less mods granted I got a M6 but still should be getting more out of your car!

i never got a cai because i was gonna get a s/c, but since ive changed my mind i need one, id like to find a good used one instead of paying 200$ for a new one, the car is in great conditon, its got 95k on the odo, and i also figured it would go better than a 13.9 but i was suprised that it didnt

I suggest carefully going over wires/plugs/02s/fuel filter and check fuel pressure. Something is amiss and it isnt the lack of CAI

If you don't want to spend the cash, make your own CAI. I had a homemade CAI on my first Camaro ($50, K&N and dryer hose), and couldn't tell the difference between the one I have now. Personally, a tube and a filter isn't worth $200.

Dude..somethings wrong..I ran a 14.3 @ 101.6mph with a 2.6 60ft. I would expect to be close to 12s with Headers and CAI added. You need to get your car checked out..or as they are suggesting..a good tune maybe all that you need.

Also..my stock ET/MPH with 3:23 gears and Firestoen Firehawk FTXs was 14.1 @ 97mph w/ 2.1 60.
