Default Please Help!

I don't know whats wrong with my SS because I timed 3 0-60 runs and they all came out around 9+ seconds with less than a 1/4 tank of gas.. I have an AEM CAI (and an SRI in my garage) and Apexi N1 exhaust.. Would switching back to stock exhaust make my runs faster? I ordered AEM pulleys and Im waiting for my DC header to be installed. Right now Im slower than stock and I think it might be my low end that is lacking. What setup should I switch to? What is the problem?

SS=Sport Shift...

Your car either needs a tune-up BADLY, or you suck at driving.

Ok well the only thing I have really changed is that I started putting in 91 octane gas from 89(cuz im cheap) and I switched from an SRI to a CAI.. thats when i really noticed the slow times.. You think it could be either one of those? And im just running it in auto mode..

try running it in SS mode - you should be able to get quicker times in SS than in strait auto.

Do u think since Ive been running on 89 octane for a while (about 7-8 months) my car got used to it and now since I started running 91 octane through it.. the performance suffered?

it could be a hundred things to as why your car isn't running to it potential...you need to tune it or get it tuned by someone...and start using premium gas in that ****.
