All I saw was 8 5 8 5 1 1 1 1 1

There was a pause after each number 8 pause 5 pause 8....etc. ??

first off your a/f ratio was perfectly fine. when you are running at wot you will run rich to protect the engine from blowing itself up. your hp and tq numbers are normal for what you have done which is absolutely nothing but throw a cam in a stock engine which does you no good at all.

a little advice for you ditch the cam heads and intake for something better if you want to make more power.

Default Sounds good

So C/H/I. I will start looking into that. My goal for my car right now is to get into the mid 12's at the track...so basically I am looking to drop 2 seconds off my time. Will H/C/I get me there or am I going to need further upgrading? I am not interested in NOS or anything like that! Thanks

yes head cam and intake is a great place to start and yes it can get you into the 12's with a little bit of suspension work and sticky tires

Is there a good street tire for the track or should I go with a street slick? Are you talking about sub frame connectors, the weld in type, and what else suspension wise. And one more thing, do I need my computer 're-flashed'? I'm not sure exactly what that is, but I have talked to a couple of guys that mentioned it!

MT ET streets are a good set of street legal drag radials. sub frame connectors are a great idea too that will keep the body from twisting. for suspension go with some springs and adjustable shocks and struts. upper and lower control arms are also another way of getting some great traction
