Hey guys, this was my first time ever at the track. My mods are in my profile. My car needs tuned badly, but what are some mods I can do to get my 1/4 mile time to low 13's? I think if it was properly tuned, I could get as low as 13.6-13.7s right now. Anyway, what do you all think? This is 20psi (stock smic) and a little 110 octane mixed with 93 octane. This is a Automatic with no tranny mods, so dont be to harsh on the 60' time.

The car feels like it has more, but I have to get the tuning right. I also need a shift kit and end clutch upgrade badly.
 
Do you have a logger?

A logger will help you tune the car and net much better times. How are you tuning your afc in the first place without one?
 
Yeah, I have a logger. I use it pretty often. But I am still learning and I dont know all there is to know about tuning. I cant really find a lot of help. I have done some research and found some sites that help though. I need to learn to set my Hi throttle settings at WOT. Im not sure how to do that.
