Car Runs Kinda Bad.. Poor Performance

NewAge 5.0 · 02-26-2002, 02:29 AM

I have taken my car to the track and I am confused.. w/ my mods i should be at 110 or least NEAR 110 mph i am at 102 on street treads.. whats the problem?? timing at 15 deg FP set at 40-42 w/ line OFF 93 octane w/ a splash of the good stuff at the track.. T5 thats on its last leg.. but I POWER SHIFTED it OK.. I thought my TPS was bad as well as my ACT and CTS, and my plugs were RED on the electrode tips and black crusty around the outside of the electrode.. so I replaced them too.. car runs better but I dont know if its FASTER.. what do you guys reccomend me to do.. I work 7 days a week so Track time is limited to GOOD FRIDAY AND EASTER WEEKEND (holidays is the only time I am off) Thanx..
