84 mph is pretty slow. My stock one ran 89-90 mph. Could be the exhuast leak, and crappy gas, maybe even dying tranny. Do a tune up fix the leak and go back.

my speed was 85 sorry i just looked at the slip but thats kinda slow too, but what should i do for a tune up i checked the plugs tehre all pretty much new condition i just got a new filter just serviced the tranny but i was thinking about putting syntehtic just changed my oil and i ran a 16.2@85 and that seems pretty slow for having an intake and a dr mod but you have to count in the ****y gas and high temp and wind its at infineon raceway (sears point) so its really bad conditions but still i just hope its not the tranny... that would not be cool

I ran 16's in my 97 SE auto the first trip to the track 2 years ago. When I finished the season it was running 15.1 N/A and 13.1 with nitrous so thats pretty normal. This is what mods I ended with.

1997 SE Automatic

---Budget Y-Pipe
---Budget B-Pipe, 2 1/2" Mandrel Bent T-304
---2k1 Muffler
---B&M 11x11 Transmission Cooler
---Place Racing Cold Air Intake
---Mickey Thomson 22x8x15's
---Nitrous Express(NX)Wet

$1240 invested in my performance mods.

Umm you can try brake torqueing and keep it in drive always. Leave Over Drive off.

Tranny cooler will not make your car faster bt it will keep your tranny lasting longer. A b-pipe will add 5 hp at the most.

You should be leaving the line at the highest rpm possible without pulling through the brakes. Practice will yield better results. You will probably be able to get closer to 15.5 as it is now. UDP will help you get those RPM's up faster, and the b-pipe will help. Leaving OD off does nothing. All it does is keep you out of fourth gear, but you probably aren't getting there by the end of the track yet anyway.
