Default Why can't i go faster?

Best time 16.24 @ 87.3 mph . mods are in sig. I am a second faster than my old stock 4.8 rcsb but I think that i should be faster. It might be that it has 3.42's or it could be the strip. any suggestions would help.

Thats about right.. the efans and intake are your only performance mods really.. and they dont make dramatic increases... look into a posi rear and 3.73's or 4.10 gears. And if you want to open up the motor, get a cutom tune and do a cam/spring swap.

What was the altitude and atmosphere conditions like when you ran it. Sounds about right.

I dont know the altitude but it was about 85 outside . How much would a wait4me tune help my e.t.'s. I was hoping for 15's soon.
