auto tranny = big HP loss

for a number of reasons...gearing being #1 issue....the extra parts being #2

for a stockish aod 5.0....you should go 4.10 gears, 100 shot nitrous, and cheater slicks

you'll hit 13's that way.....low 13's too...not 12's like a 5-speed

but as u sit...go 12* timing, tps at .990v , dump the silencer, ensure the throttle blade is opening all the way, by the pedal , and thats about it.
