not really, unless your 330ft time is 60ISH mph

i was running 6.5secs to 78mph i assume that means i'm in the sub 6sec category?

your 60ft time is the let down, concentrate on that before more power.

aim for 2.1's to be realistic 2.2's is acceptable for a low powered FWD car. that will take you into the 15's
