Read the 4th gne stickys, and pull your ECU codes. What's the elevation there? Odds are your KS went to heaven.

me too. the problem is with a auto when you open up the exhaust and air intake it takes more time for the tranny to pull all of that free flowing power from down low but top end is increased. when i first did my exhaust and air filter i felt like the car was sluggish when i floored it but then would pick up better as i reached higher rpms that why i quickly went for more power in the form of FI.

You should try releasing the e-brake next time you go to the track.


J/k

Keep practicing.

Any mods man? I definitely think that you should do a little better than 16.1

Just an intake, exhaust and a little spray.

PS Oh ya, you need an automatic to be fast. Don't get a manual, they are for pussies.

16.1 is fine, but your trap is extremely low for a mildly modified auto

Let me get on this, My Auto also ran a 16.18 @ 88mph CAI & catback exhaust.

Then I changed all of my O2 sensors same mods added a tranny cooler and ran a 15.8@88.8mph

Then I added the SAFC-2 and ran a 15.6@ 89.9 mph. after the track I had a buddy tune it and it felt alot faster then.

Now it's a whole different story. 3.5 inside 2800lbs
