You should be deep 12's with those mods on a good tire. Sounds like you need to sort out the issues and get a tune to take full advantage of your combo. Throwing parts at a car doesn't always make it faster. Take care of the basic general maintainence first.

i know you bird of prey thanks tho ,,,,, ok lately ive been getting p0300 and an 02 sensor code on,,,, the passenger side plugs are fouling out as well as that 02,,, the driver side looks like normal wear on the plugs and 02,,,, 1. i took it to speed inc to tune the mods which i think was a no no.... basically 2 months after that it started happening,,,, so i think the A/F ratio are messed up like you guys said,,,,i had Mts drag radials but balled as **** so they still spun so thats explainable,,,,, i race dmy buds 96Z28 and off the line "on teh street i may add" i took him by like 6 kars and kept going he **** a brick,,, now since those codes came back i kant even beet him by more than a kar now,,,, so im sure ill just take it to a good tuner who will take his time and not hurry up and tak emy money like SPEEDinc.... so yea,,
if you still cant make out what im saying i am going back to grade school to shoot myself lol

Before throwing good money after bad with another tune. Fix the issues involved. Plugs and 02. It's going to take some constant monitoring, but there is a gremlin in there. My Formula used to throw p0300 when I had TR6's in it along with low cat effiency. Perhaps fresh TR55's?

There is no excuse for a word like "kodes".
