alright the car has 60k miles on it, always babied, has light mods on it (flows, o/r h-pipe, CAI, Pro 5.0 shifter), and im seeing a problem that is probably minor but i just dont know what it is. It just seems like the car doesnt get up as quick anymore. It kind of drags in when i shift to 2nd. whats the deal here?

Could be a lot of things. Start by checking for engine error codes. You may also want to do a tune up (including fuel filter) if you haven't done one in a while.

Maybe you need to bring it out to your dads and have him give it a tune up for you.
