Okay, I just got back from the track, and I think I was ripped off on my torque converter, and my motor doesn't seem strong.

My mods to date are, 2400 (supposedly) converter, 3.73s, Cobra Intake, 65mm Tbody, Mac Cold Air Intake, 1.7 Roller Rockers, Mac Headers, Mac H-pipe, Flowmaster cat-back, BFGoodrich 175/40/17 Drag Radials, and 15x3.5 Drag lites and 165 tires. I removed the corner marker (poor mans ram air) and took out my back seat (left in bottom) pass seat, spare tire and jack. I ran a little less than 1/4 tank. I have a shift kit at home to install soon!

The best I could get was a 14.25 at 96. What is wrong??? My 60' is a 2.11 with a slight chirp, and I don't heat up the tires, or even clean them off. The car leaves like a dog, and I cannot bring the RPMs up over 1400 without the tires spinning. There seems to be no flash in the Converter.

Another problem I am havng is my trap speeds. Tonight it ranged from 95-96, shouldn't I be trapping near 100. My dads LX with cat-back, pulleys, and gears traps 97!!!!

I am getting annoyed here because this is my first car, and it is not performing how I would like. I have spent alot of money, and I would like some mid to high 13s out of this combo! is that too much to ask, and should I be happy at a best of 14.1.
