ok it goes 13.0s with street tires, 3.23s and manifolds

I put Hooker Long tube headers on, 29.5 Slicks, and 4.10 Gears
and it SLOWS DOWN to 13.30!!!

The 60's 1/8th and 1/4 are all slower and have less mph

In all fairness I had the serpentine belt on and the passenger seat in (+.2)
the air was 4,000 feet worse
and I had the tune messed up so the car was shifting at 6,400

so that probably has alot to do with it but none the less im dissapointed.

this saturday ill have my tune straightenned out, and my serp. belt off and my passenger seat out and ill put 25 PSI in the slicks because they hook too hard. so I can go as fast as possible.
look for 12.50s - 12.90 times... its houston, and its heating up, the cool powerfull winter air is gone.

If you take your serp belt off, what drives the water pump?

The air did it. What was your trap speed. That will give you the indication of power gained/lost.
