went to the track last saturday and my best time was a 14 flat @ 97mph. Car only has an stack upper plenum,cai, and borla cat back. Looking to pick up 3mph, should I do gears next or throttle body. Maybe a x pipe?

thanks

Long tube headers and shorty off road mid pipe should get you to your goal.

Thats not bad for a relatively bone stock car (CAI, Plenum, and cat-back add little to no HP). I'd recommend an o/r midpipe, gears, and some LCA's.

BTW what was your 60ft time?

Before a good recommendation can be made, we need to know the 60' and the density altitude (DA). You can calculate that here: http://www.dragtimes.com/da-density-altitude-calculator.php

You can gain that MPH off weather alone. I assume you were probably racing in nice, cool weather though... so that may be as good as it gets.

That's not terrible for a stock car.

Offroad X and gear that pig!

This.

Scan or take a picture of all your time slips. Each time you go to the track, keep them and put them in a place where you can reference them. If you post your slips, then it is much easier for everybody to give you advice.

Lighten up anything rotating... I.e. driveshaft, pulleys, wheels, flywheel ect....

Gear that biotch and get rid of the pos stock shifter if u have a 5 speed
