I would recommend either an SCT tuner ( I dont know if they make one for your year its what i have but i dont know much about them all i know is that it gave me a hell of alot more hp and tq then the preditor did) but if they dont you could always go with a preditor tuner....I have one on ebay if you want to check it out

and by the way that thing about running low 14s was bs i raced a 87 mazda rx7 turbo tonight and only beat it by a car length so im like 14.9-15.0.

I looked up what they run stock and it said 15.2...so im sorta guessing
