what was the density altitude when you made those runs? not to bad for street tires, I just think your trap should be 109-110 with a m6 car and those mods... especially with bumped compression.

110+.

Do you have 1.6 rr's?

I think your down on power a little. It should trap 108-109 at least.

Get a cutout, that will add a decent amount of hp for the $ is costs. Especially since your running the stock exhaust. Next drop the front sway bar, jack&spare, rear seats next. Drop the pressure in the tires to 26psi.

The front sway bar will help out with weight transfer and add to the total weight loss.

with the cutout and weight loss you could lose .2-.3 and gain 1-1.5mph.

I do have 1.6rr's but there not installed yet. There are headers but Just Shorties. I want to get long tubes. But I don't know how long I am keeping this car. I have 4.10s to install also. And a bottle. But I need to get this dialed in first
