My absolute best with CAI/Catback was 14.299 on my 2.73s with 200 lbs of stereo equipment in the trunk.

After installing my 3.42s, I went 14.01 hitting the rev limiter on the 2-3 shift with the same equipment in the car.

With 2.73s, my 60 foot times were 2.1-2.2

The thing I would think is get a tune up changing the plugs and wires, oil, blah, blah. Is your car running rich, lean, are you sure there is no misfire or maybe your lt1 was switched with a 3.8?I would also like to know what you are trapping at.

what altitude are you at?

my '95 has 105,000 miles with 2.73's and the only mods are an SLP CAI and SLP catback and my best 60' so far is a 1.998 on street tires

my best ET is in my sig with a 2.032 60'

if your car is stock i dont see why you wouldnt get at least a 13.9 if you hook up

if the tracks stink in your area, might be best to get some drag radials, or get someone to go to the track with ya and help ya out
