Went from 108 trap to 103?????
I have a 99 cobra that i ran two years ago at the track and best was a
13.25@108. That was with 3.27 gears and 245 street tires on the stock 17's and stock timing.
Since that run i have added a Steeda timing adjuster @16 degrees timing. An aluminum driveshaft, 03 cobra 31 spline half shafts,auburn pro series posi,
4.30 gears and MT 275/40 drag radials and mix 110/92 . I ran the car last night and could only muster a 13.3@103 for 5 consecutive runs??? i was running 15psi in the tires and getting 1.9 60 foots and before was only 2.1 60 fts but my trap speed has dropped a bunch? My top end just doesnt pull now.
could it be Air/Fuel problems? the car idles fine runs fine and no misses so im totally confused any information would be greatly appreciated... From what i have read online i should be running mid to high 12's and trapping around 110.

I actually already have an SCT chip in my car to correct my speedo for the
4.30s and 19" wheels. So i was told i can just sell my timing adjuster and then have the tune done to my car. I think thats where im going to start because i was very disappointed with all that work done to run the same 1/4 and way slower trap... :angry5:

My current mods are. BBk full fenderwell cold air intake, steeda timing adjuster,steeda underdrive pulleys,180 stat,03 cobra "colder" plugs, Mac 2.5" prochamber and flowmasters no cats with MIL eliminator, Royal purple 5/30 full synthetic, SPEC 3 clutch, steeda tri-ax,FRPP aluminum driveshaft, 4.30 gears with 03 cobra 31 spline half shafts and auburn pro series posi,MT 275/40 Drag radials. I still have the stock manifolds but its just so expensive for nice long tubes and installation!
I would also like to do the canton oil pan at the same time as the headers if i do them. Is it worth modifying the stock 80mm MASS air?

Don't mess with the stock mass air, there is no need to.
Get a SCT tune. I have not heard anything good about the Mac cold air kits. The JLT's have made good gains on the 4 valve motors. Switching to 4.30's from stocks gears takes some getting used to, it's not unusal to be slower with lower gears for a while. Once you get used to them you will be much faster. The 4 valve motors really like to be rev'd up high so experiment with your shift points. 400 rpm above peak HP is a good place to start.
