ditch the flowmaster. I know i've got one on my car but pretty much anyone who you ask will tell you that flowmasters are not the best mufflers flow-wise. also, maybe try a bigger throttle body. you might get a few hp out of that. other than that your looking at going into the motor i.e. heads, cam, rotating assembly

Best bolt on for drag racing would be tires because a converter is pointless without traction.

Converter. Then you will realize you need tires.

Don't cheap out on the converter. A good stall can make a world of difference.

WAY TOO SOON for 1.6s!

I have my runs all down on a spreadsheet and recorded DA on those runs.
LT4 springs/1.6RRs and EWP would first indicate a 3 tenths improvement but if you look at the DA on the runs weather had a 2 tenth improvement and the other stuff was worth a tenth.

Weight and weather are your friends or enemy!
