    i am no expert, but i would think that those are pretty good numbers for the intake and exhaust you've listed. i bet you get those numbers consistantly. i did when all i had was intake/exhaust.
    what i am saying is i think you are doing pretty good with what you got. if you want better times, you are going to need more mods.
    just my opinion though
    6s.......under the hood or under the belt, they just dont cut it.

      hmm... here are some tips.

      - ICe intake in staging lanes
      - Wipe off tires with a rag in staging lanes getting close to your race(OSW is covered with crap)
      - I overinflate front tires to make ghetto skinnies
      - I take off my front sway bar endlinks, allows for alot better weight transfer to the rear. (only takes a 13mm, flat wrench, and a 13mm socket wrench with an extender. YOu only need to jack the car up for a second once you get them unbolted to take them off.)
      - Empty windshield washer fluid
      - clean stuff out of car(I once raced with a bookcase in the back seat, I was moving at the time, pulled like a 16.2 that night [img]smile.gif[/img] )
      - low amount of gas, but not too low, you have to buy a $5 gallon of 110 octane because you are worried you might run out in a race.
      - turn on AC on Max, but in the heat mode, once you start your car and start moving up to the line(be sure to shut it off once oyu get lined up)
      - Rub your lucky key, from your old car that was blessed by a catholic priest, even though you are not catholic.
      - rub little thing girlfriend bought you for good luck
      - where lucky checkered flagged underwear girlfriend bought you.

        BTW, you need to do something about that part of the stock intake that goes past the ABS proportioning thing. IF you take it off lits like barely 1in. in diameter. My setup may not be the best, but its better then stock, and cheap.

            do you spin in your launches? If not drop it harder, and rev it higher. [img]smile.gif[/img] .
