Default NEED HELP!! Car Is Slow

With every thing that i have doen to my car car i can only cut a 13.2 at 107 before i did every thing when the car was stock it ran a 13.4 at 104
I have been reading on here and i have read of someone installing cam wrong retarded and he was running the same as me. I have a auto meter air fuel gauge and it is in the middle of the green full throttle wich is way rich. The car is not runing right now becuse in the middle of installing yank 4400 and tranny. But i have a time set up at ed wright to get it dyno tunded. But i wanted to have it running right before i waste 650 for the tune. But i would thank that it would be running faster then 107 in 1/4. And traction was not the problem i wasnt launching it hard but i was still cutting 2.0 60s. Any help would be nice.

I really think it's a tuning issue. If you're taking teh car to TIR depending on the night you might be having issues related directly to the track. Trust me, I see lots of nice setups run mediocre time because our track sucks <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
You should DEFINITELY be running MUCH better. Need to lean that sucker out. There are some people who swear by Ed Wright and other people who would rather send their PCM out to other companies. As for a direct answer, I think it's definitely tuning and fuel.

You should be pulling 1.7s with a good stall
