Your car has 14 sec potential but you need gears badly. Get some 3.73s in there if it's a 5speed and 4.10s for an auto. I thought the hp was a bit higher in the S281 vs a regular GT. You should be running a bit better than that. I'm running 15.0@94.4 w/my GTS w/3.73s and no traction. Nothing else but K&N and ram air. But I changed spark plugs today and the idiot that owned the car before me, I'm the second owner, had two different types of plugs in the stupid thing. One type on the driver's side and another type on the passenger's side. What kind of tires are you running? Get some stickier tires such as Z rated or like drag radials for more drag racing. Change your cat back, too. Use straight flow thru mufflers with that X pipe. I'd save the MAF and TB for if you change heads and intake and/or put on a supercharger. They are going to be of hardly any benefit right now. Also get a better shifter if you have a 5speed/torque converter and shift kit for an automatic. Put on those pullies. They should help pretty well.
