by the way..the reason i ask is because 12s are a possibility..but i KNOW its got mid - low 13s on a 100 shot

weight reduction mabey? idk

[1DangerousV6]

i cant really do much more without losing vital body parts lol ..i just took 204 lbs. out of the car..this is my problem..im just not sure where to go next if i have to in order to reach my goal :(

Auto or manual?

If auto, look into a nice stall converter, to really tear *** off the line.

If manual, and on stock clutch, save money for better clutch and keep an eye on the tranny internals.

as for mods...

-Track practice
-stall converter/drivetrain
-electric water pump
-lcas
-thicker rear sway
-possible drag shocks
-lighter battery
-batter relocation
-skinnies

he has a auto. i think your best bet would be a nice stall convertor like others said.is this your daily driver or no? dont wonna go too crazy if it is.

glad to see you finally got some suspension under that thing. [img]smile.gif[/img]

that price is right in your range for a converter and install if you can't do it yourself. after you get it in, you'll be kicking yourself for not doing it sooner.

if you put it in yourself, pick up a set of drag shocks.

[1DangerousV6]

lighter battery and drag shocks would be nice..i was really thinking of a higher stall though..wanted to see if everyone else would be on the same page..when looking at the car Magnus drove..i think Slacker's too..the big differences were:

ported intakes: although they may provide some increase..i bypass these by having the direct port kit..i dont think they give me any MAJOR increase as far as nitrous is concerned

headers: i have a hollow cat, 3" cat back, and hollow muffler..im thinking maybe that makes up for headers

stall converter: thats the big thing i noticed..good for up to 1/2 second on my car id think..with a higher stall converter im thinking i could run less nitrous on my engine and still hit my goal of 12s

correct me on any of these points if im wrong or you have any more input..i appreciate it [img]smile.gif[/img]

..fbirdgt01 ..oh you will ;)

Stop making additions to modifications and get some seat time!

I've watched you go 13.9 blown n juiced..... and you need more seat time/ nitrous experience.

All the mods in the world mean nothing if you can't drive the car.

More suspension: drag shocks & springs, sfc, phr, tubular k-member, sway bars, torque arms, ect. There are quite a few choices on which manufacturer. BMR offers some packages I believe, and they're not as expensive as you would think.

A built tranny with a high stall converter will help your 60's out and drop your time down quite a bit. A couple good ones are Edge and Vigilante. There's more out there though.

Light weight racing seats will take some weight out of the car.
