Question Need LS1 (98)Help

I got an 98 LS1(firebird) I put a on LSX fast intake, 4:10 Gear, .05@221/218 cam , long tube headers, and new y-pipe.

Before i did all these mod's my car was only pulling 14.10 in the 1/4 mile, which is very slow for the Ls1. Now I've done these mods my car is still running in the 14's. Trying to find out what's wrong with my car because the ls1's stock on average run 12-13 sec flat. The only thing that I have left to do with my car is get it tuned.

Don't know whats worng. Can someone HELP??????

Not having a tune your car might be Running pig rich with the timing off or running way lean and burning a freakin hole in your piston. Those will kill your car and Kill your performance

if your car isnt tuned, your not getting much of the power, everything has to be working together, not seperately
