I'm thinking about getting Ported Heads and Hotter cams to get into the 10's.

What part of PA are you in and what track do you run at? I run at Maple Grove and some others in this area.

All times in my sig are from Firebird in Phoenix, Az. Having just moved back to Pa.. I'll probably be running at Maple Grove or Atco. I wanted to run at Numidia but it looks like they won't be open this season.

Maple Grove has a lot of friday night racing, I ran there this weekend. Maybe I'll line up against you there sometime

Thanks, it's running very well for the mods it has. Yeah, you probably would only would get one run in there with no cage, they're pretty strict.

Then they want us to figure why its so low. Bottom line is a Ricer will still tromp you with a lot less hp. My suggestion is to dyno the car at a street light or track for $20, and save the $300 towards parts that will help your times.
Its the most objective way to know how your car is performing. its only information, but the most accurate information you can get.

Yeah i just got my car dyno'ed after my header install. I wanted to see what kind of gain it got me. Which was very little. But i noticed my a/f was in the low 11's to mid 10's. So it was a very helpfull tool. I got a mail order tune from madz28 and i'm gonna get it dyno'ed again pretty soon to see what kind of a/f i'm at now. Also to see how much of a difference it made.

You are right. 93's like us take chips, they can't just be flashed. Drop chips@pcmforless.com an email, and he'll get you hooked up. His tunes are almost spot on over the mail, and he KNOWS what he's doing.
