Need more info. Can you list all your times? i.e. 60ft 1/8th mile. What was the elevation/tempature at the track?

Is it an auto or stick? How are you launching it, slipping the clutch, etc.

I have the same mods as you in my '04 5spd plus a few more listed in my sig and ran a best 13.65 with a 2.05 60'. That is where the room for improvement is. I need traction BAYBEE!!

i went 8.81 -1/8th and 13.6 -1/4 with an xcalibrator, mac flowpath catback and a plenum/tb combo and stock gears on street tires with a 2.0 60'....

since i have added the midpipe and 3.73s my N/A times went down several tenths to 8.50-1/8th which is right around a 13.3 inb the 1.4.... given you elevation and 60' times are low, yes you should be faster...
