RE: guess mods don't make your car faster..
no practice needed, it's an auto.. i hooked everytime, except one of them... best reaction time was.025 and a 2.2 60 ft.. car shifts slow from 2nd to third.. but i still was thinkin 14.7 could of and should of been hit

Your car may be running worse with your new mods. A performance cam does no good for a stock engine. Not to mention those 24# injectors are drowning your engine with fuel. R Barn is running 24s on his 350rwhp 351W.

RE: guess mods don't make your car faster..
yea... i say run it a few more times... maybe just had a bad night? how was the car hookin? somethin doesnt sound right... i think you shoulda ran faster then what you did when you were stock(maybe, if any just a little), and w. all the mods listed yes you should have been in the 14s... hell the 3.73s shoulda gave you 14s... i think theres either a prob w. the car, or maybe the driver mod is a little rusty(no offence)???

RE: guess mods don't make your car faster..
First of all, valve springs is a HUGE MUST even with high mileage and the stock cam, especially with an aftermarket cam! You didn't list your trap speed of any of your runs (the only way besides a dyno to tell if you've added any real power). You're probably not going to get much better times with out a different torque converter either. Why didn't you just leave the 19 lb injectors in it? Why is your timing only at 10 degrees? I'm sure that you've heard it a million times but that sn-95 'puter doesn't like modifications, especially cams. I'd really re-think what you've done to your car, get it tuned right (bump timing and put stiffer valve springs in it) and give the 'ol 5.0 a second chance.
