I got to go to the local drag strip again last night and got a 13.33 out of my little almost stock car!! i have been really impressed with these cars again and again i have had people tell me i would never even see mid 13.5s!! for the second time i have ever had my car on the track i think it was pretty damn good!

Congrats! That's a great time!
A low DA(cool, dry air at a low altitude), and good launching/shifting wll put these cars in the low 13's without a problem. Some similarly modded S197 GT's have even dipped into the high 12's with power shifting and street tires on a very well prepped track.
