What kind of exhaust do you have? Are you running stock headers? H pipe with converters? pipes over the axle to tips or do you have turndowns? Open exhaust will help with high end power. What have you had done to the tranny? I don't know if that could be it. I think the fuel pressure idea is a good one too. Check that out. About the exhaust though, I was running with pipes over the axles like on LX mustangs and running 15.4 and now I have turndowns and am beating cars that normally run 14.50s. Still haven't been to the track yet to see, but think it's much faster now.
