That does seem slow for the mods. Have you ever A-Tapped the car?

Bos, damn who's flyin car is that?!

I think traction is one of your main concerns. What kinda 60' times are you cutting?

I'm thinking you could go 12.0-12.1s with the new mods. Maybe gain a MPH or 2 as well...

Track conditions, weight, etc also play a role.

My car has never been ATAP and the hypertech programmer has never shifted properly with the 3:73 gears---this is why I am going to have custom tuning--and hopes this solves the problem.

I would get rid of the GMAF and run slicks <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">
LOW 12's high 11's right there with your mods.

I agree with Chris's estimits. I have a 224 cam with mac headers and a M6 and pulled almost 400rwhp with stock heads. Get some slicks and custom tunning and I think 11.8's are a deffinate. <img src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />

On a 99 i say run a stock mass air meter. Also, how much does your car weigh?
