    Try pulling the codes with a test light. Sometimes my scanner won't pull them. BTW, what fuel pump do you have in that car? And you prob need bigger injectors/mass air or a tuner.

    I would say upgrade to 24's, get a good 255 pump and adj fuel pres reg. You have to be maxing out those 19's which is why you lean out on up top.

    With a good running set up you should be putting down in the 300 range. Get some bigger injectors and a nice dyno tune so you know what the a/f is.

    You are really maxing out the injectors, I'm in the 300 horse range and my 24#er's hit the 90% range so you have to be over what those things can handle. Upgrade those and the mass air meter, then you should be better. Your going to need to get a tune for the car as well and that will help.

    My car has gone 13.6 at 105 three or four years ago, changed the injectors and maf since then as well as tuned the car. Runs stronger now.. :)

    BTW that was spinning all the way through 1st and 2nd gears, then finally hooking up in 3rd.

    Car is getting completely overhauled now though, wifey gave me permission to strip the car and rebuild so that's what I'm doing.. :)

    Twin turbos here I come!!!
