Mods on this car don't do MUCH but they DEFINITELY do something. A proper cold air intake, getting rid of your cat, and a tune (AP) you will definitely be looking at something like 20-25hp and those are the ponies that will pull on a stock 8 in long pulls like we did that night.. 2nd, 3rd and into 4th.
Get rid of your CAT!

I had a power loss in third gear a while back and after trial and error on several mods I figures it to be be a bad set of coils. After reading my logs I learned it was only in third because that's where the most stress was on the coils. I had detonation in third only at 7k. In second and fourth I was OK. My new coils arrived and all symptoms ceased.

Yes my issue was resolved. I upgraded to the BHR ignition with new plugs. And that helped a lot. But the most improvement was replacing the clutch/flywheel. My clutch was slipping it couldn't hold the 160lbs of torque lol. So I wasn't getting the power to the floor in third or sixth. Now I'm ripping dudes. I also got the compression test. I would do that bro.

So after hooking up the AP and installing the MM base map, the car feels a **** load faster now. But I cant tell if its improved over stock or just got back to stock level.. since I was having a low power issue.
Omar are you going to the meet on august 15th? If so do you mind taking my car out for a drive and testing to see if the car is actually ok or its just me.

I also installed a new catback as my previous one blew apart.. but I didnt expect any type of difference from a new catback. The only difference in the two catback is the new one creates a lot more back pressure than my previous one did..
I think its me being weird, but when I dewinterized the car and drove it for a month or so I felt like the power was declining. Once I reflashed with the base map it feels like how I remember it a summer ago...
I dunno think its just me
Could be my clutch/flywheel. If so that looks to be next years mission..
