the Mouse ate the Cat

Guys, my baby got stressed out yesterday after racing a Turbo Talon AWD.

Since my RS's now shy, I need to buy it a present. Yet I don't know my ET but man it's not fast enough.

let's say I'm switching my 2.73 for 3.73 will I get a good gain ???
should I save my money and slap a better cam ???

I don't know what that mighty Talon had but shhh***t it pass right by me ...I was reaching is back bumper 10-12 seconds later at something like 125 mph and we stop racing so he won...


so, gears, cam, better idea ?

If I'm not mistaken all AWD Talons have a turbo in them...so that could be it...and if it wasn't stock then even more so.
