Okay, I'm sure this is talked about everywhere, anyways:
Today I tested my 0-60 time and came up with 10.9 seconds. I did this in my car with my foot on the gas, one hand on the steering wheel and the other on a stopwatch. I know this is an inaccurate way to check times but I'm just curious, stock 96' 240s are 8.2 right? I've got Ingen CAI, Apex N1-dual, 18"rims, Hotshot header, Racing Pulley set, and high-flow CAT, and 133,000 miles on the odometer, oh and I just did an oil change last weekend. So someone tell me why even an inaccurate method results in such a horrible time!! Sh*t even stock Civics are faster than that! I haven't had the chance to Dyno my car since way back. I would have thought that I was somewhere around 7.0-7.3 in my time. My car is also overdue for a tune-up (new plugs and wires). Someone HELP!!

Also I'm in New Mexico, Altitude 4000+, could that be another reason? My car has felt weaker since I moved here a few months ago.
