I think you need to start reading your plugs after each run.

My car is dead hooking no wheel spin and after my headers i am running straight pipes through factory mufflers. I am loading the brakes but they still give when the car reaches 2100 rpm the front tires are not sliding the brakes just can't hold. Do you guys have any suggestions on how I could get my 60' down? It was a 86 degree day and engine temp was around 178 180 and it was not humid.l

a 10" stall converter that is rated 3500 (low stalls at 3000 or so on the power brake) or nitrous oxide should get your 60' down. Both might be better.

an 8.0 second 1/8 mile is potentially a 12.50 et in the 1/4. I don't know what your shooting for, but that's a pretty typical time for a 350 car, IMO.

You're probably about where you should be with the mods you have.
