You won't get any kind of traction even with a stock engine. What kind of cars are beating you?
Exactly. With my 4.10s and NOTHING ELSE, I mean even air silencer intact, my 94 GT ran a 14.01 @ 99. But on the street I lose to LT1's etc etc. Cars that I should be at least be close to are beating me by cars and I'm not a TERRIBLE driver. Not the best but not the worst either. Hmmm something to think about.
