next restriction-hawks tpi ram air needed?

well I am finally getting the car to hook at the track. I put some 90-10's up front and competition engineering shocks out back set at 70/30 and I cut a 1.68 60 ft and ran a 8.11 @ 82 1/8th and 12.87 @104 1/4 last wednesday in a DA of 2800

I am wondering if anybody has used the ram air setup before and had any results, I already have them and im going to install them next week, I have cleaned and grinded my airbox,gutted maf and have 58 tb,and use foam accell filters, just wondering if you think it is my next restriction or not . I lost to a 2011 mustang it ran 12.91 @ 107 (I red light, not used to car hooking yet ). thanks in advance for your input

yea their ok, better than the stock stuff. The faster you go the more you beneifet. (spl)

I watched my afr lean up alil at the top of 3rd doing 100+ also match sure you have TB bypassed and your motor is set to run cool, maintaining a good water temp will be the deciding factor as well as under hood temps. heat soak will make any appreciable gains nill.
