Default I hate low 13s

Well after changing out from a bullet to a magnaflow catback, adding a march balancer, and installing all of my AC components back in the car (previously deleted), and running in 100 deg heat, my car slowed down .2 and 2 mph. It ran consistant 13.3s at 106. it was 13.1 at 108 before. Will a power programmer give me that mph back or am I going to have to cam it to get me into the 12s because I'm tired of telling people that my LS1 can't do it as it is. Well the fact that my auto won't shift into 3rd without letting of the gas isn't helping either, and shitty traction. any suggestions?

you dont even need a stall. you need a 2.0 60ft. if you got a 2.0 you would be in the 12s already. and i get 2.0 60fts all day long with fuzion zri street tires.

ok, I guess that's next on the list. I'm guessing 3500 for just exhuast/lid mods? I will buy a cam really soon, but it will be a street setup so even still I probably wouldn't need anything higher... I hate the summer heat, makes my times look like ***. thanks for the replies though.

ya there were quite a few nice ls1s out there last wednesday, it was fun to hang out with them. Ya I definetly need to go out there with some tires and see what I can do because I know I have the mph for it. I'll have to save a bit for the stall though. There's a good chance I'll be out there on Wed though!
