first run i went to us 41 drag strip today an ran a car for the first time ever i made 4 passes each one with a quicker time 
my fastest was only a 13.93 
though any advise on how to go faster. i have a 99 trans am a4 with catback, filter and a lid, and descreened mass air with stock 2.73 gears. i dont want to rally spened alot of cash and really cant mod to much because i have a warranty. any help would be aprieciated.
my reaction time sucked buthere are the numbers for my runs
first run let off at 1000ft was told if i went faster than 13.99 they would shut me down(forgot my helmet).temp was in the 80's and there was a head wind that started to get worse id say 20mph or more at the end

The temperature and headwind were hurting your times. In decent conditions your car should be mid 13's @ 103-104. With just a lid, dynomouth and SSRA I was running 13.3 @ 105 on high 2.1 60's.
Try again when the temps are a little cooler and headwind is minimal or non-existent. If you still can barely break out of the 14's then I would strongly consider saving for a dyno-tune. If your a/f ratio is out of whack for whatever reason then you could be losing a lot of HP. Not to mention that running too lean or too rich can be dangerous to the motor.
Good luck on your next track day.
