Wow has it been tuned yet? According to the trap numbers it's making about stock hp. Something is definitely up here, take it to a dyno and have it tuned by a reputable tuner.

Too steep of gears, but it should still run faster than that.

Has the car been tuned?

Does it noticably run bad?

Holy crap that's very low.

How many miles are on the motor? You might need to get a compression check on the cylinders. Sounds like one could be dead.

Nope, I wont say that. Have you done a compression check to see how bad it is at those miles? It may be time for a fresh hone and new rings and bearing and be done with it .

I'm thinking the cam is off a couple degrees maybe. Who tuned it?

Your compression numbers should be 155-180psi. Your really looking for them all to be right around each other.
