Something that I forgot about is that my eng. is not 100% stock,although it's not far from it. It's got an edelbrock performer intake and 1.7RR's and upgraded valve springs, UD crank pulley and 3.55 gears. Everything else is stock. (hedrs.,mass air,TB,etc.) Even though you are stock try going a little higher (5200-5300). Or if you can get a good tach and check it against the stock one.
Do a compression check and/or leakdown test to see what condition everything is in, if everything checks out OK I wouldn't worry about it.
The only reason I suggested working on driving is that from what I've seen alot people think they drive well when they really don't. Then they think it's the car so they throw money at it and get mad because their car isn't "running like it should". My first run at the track was 15.2 at 93 mph. After some practice with NO changes to the car I've run a best of 14.06 at 99 mph. My goal this year is 13.xx, with good tires I believe it's possible.
I'm no expert by any means, just trying to help.
Killercanary, yes, I go to keystone, usually on thurs. for test and tune. I think I've seen your car there before. Is your dads car all white with M/T's and A/C delete? My car is a dark blue '90 GT. I'll probably be there next week so I'll look for you. Good luck with your trans.
