Went to the track in the SS
I just bought a 1996 SS Mods are Lt4 hotcam with heads,intake,and the roller rockers,new tires and a cheap catback. Well i went to the track and the best I could muscle is a 14.2 and I was babying it out of the hole spinning in first my car is a4 no stall or a full exhaust it basiclly stock with the cam and tune. I no the car should be in the 13s but wat else do i need to get there.

What was your mph? 60' foot time? If your mph is low (probaly should be 107-110 or so) and 60' not terribly bad than maybe something else is wrong? The car is obviously choking without headers but thats not the issue. You could definetly use a stall as well and that along with headers and tires plus a little suspension will have you into the 12's easy should be easy mid 12's if the car is running right.
