What are you running for heads? Have you not upgraded them?

And raise them gears man! I recommend 3.42.

I only got stock heads but probably will put some AFR 180cc on them when I get out of college and get a real job. I was thinking 3.73 next summer. I spent so much money this summer I kinda wait on it.
