Any ideas? I'm trying to get some stock gaugings so I know how I stand when I take mine for a spin at the track for ***** and giggles.

High 16's low 17's... It hurts I know, Im in the high 15's with barely anything done. Weight reduction is your friend with these cars. Port your plenums, get a K&N, headers and catback youll prolly see low 16's high 15's. Good luck

slow@slower

the V6s weren't made for performance, they were made for gas mileage.

A 12.7 at 110 mph is feasible with good traction.

And a 275 shot of NOS.
