Default 13.8@102 with lt headers and cai

that's the best I got and it was with a 2.1 60ft. I'm pretty dissapointed. I thought I could get mid 13's at around 105. But I only gained 2mph. And really the 13.8 I could have got with a better launch stock. I know my car isn't running perfectly, it has a slight hesitation and miss in the higher rpms, but it had that before the headers, but now it's much more noticible. I'm running just headers and a ypipe too, so you can't say my stock exhuast is slowing me down. I know my car runs better and usually doesn't miss when it's cold, but after it's been idling for a couple of minutes, it seems a bit slower.

You can get a 13.5 just by improving your 60' time.

And if it runs good cold but not warmed up, you might need to replace your O2 sensors.

really... bad o2 sensors can cause it to run bad when warmed up?? I know that if my trap speeds were higher then my times would be faster too, but street tires and a 6 speed getting 2.1 I think is decent. The power just isn't there and the trap speed is telling me so. other m6 guys are trapping 105 or more, so I know something's up...

Don't forget to change the fuel filter. I think that is one of the most overlooked power robbers.

Agreed!!! w/o fuel your prolly not gonna get too far Even slightly clogged could rob you of power at high RPM's. Also plugs and wires if they've never been changed. Good luck!!!

also check out your opti. I swear these things are the devil. I took my car to the strip and pulled 13.9's with an lt4 hotcam kit. a few months later opti totally crapped out on me. Swapped the opti out and I swear the butt dyno says "Hold on!". Had to to ignition coil as well and then move the coil and ICM off the head as they were getting too hot. Now it runs far FAR better.

also check for vac leaks
