    You don't need full exhaust. You aren't outflowing the stock catback yet.

    Then thats really slow, must be getting some good KR or you spun a ****load out of the hole.

    They do 14.5 to 15 stock with driver mod, with your mods you should be 13's atleast.

    14.5 is not a good time for anything other than a bicycle.

    What was your 60'
    What was your 8th mile (assuming the 14.5 was quarter)
    What tires were you running
    What is your race weight
    What was the DA
    What was the temerature
    What is the altitude of the track
    What octane fuel were you using
    What plugs are you using
    Where is your instant center
    What stall is your torque converter

    First things firts, I would put a stock temp thermostat in. There's a long thread somewhere, I think it might be sticky where Bio254 explains in detail the reasoning behind factory thermostat temps.

    Another question I forgot to ask was what is your injector duty cycle? 3.4 on a Gen V is probably close to maxing out injectors.

    If you're looking to go fast, you should ditch the rockers and get a cam. The power improvement will definately be worth the work and cost. You'll also get more top end, which in my opinion is where you are probably lacking based on the time slip info.

    You need to monitor for KR. Every car is different. I do know the ZZP tunes have "a reputation" for KR and popping motors.

    The 3.6 could help quite a bit if the tune is for that instead of the 3.4...

    It is a cookie cutter PCM one size fits all which is not a good tune for everybody.
