What gears do you have in the rear? And do you have all the mods in your sig?

DR's, a stall, and full bolt-ons should get you there no problem.

How about you go to the track and see for yourself?

i thot the OP was answering him self you guys look the same! anyway OP depending on your next mods you can judge! id say go stall with stall and a mild cam and your pretty much into 11's. a stall only with your mods will get you well into low 12's. gd luck. a low 12's with exhaust is a lil hard to see.

also consider getting some LCA and some adjustable shock and new springs.remove the front sway bar and get some DRs.you need a good torque converter,3500 + stall.

Get a stall or you're wasting time and money, best bang for the buck for an auto. Doing a cam without a stall is useless.

If you absolutely refuse to do a stall, nitrous.

Either way you will also need drag radials.

Your sig is decieving. I thought you had all that. Low 12s high 11s is what im shooting for and I should def have low 12s. If I dont get at least 12.2 I will not be happy. My mods are in sig + I put a ss3600 stall in a few days ago. Now I just gotta get it tuned for april 1st opening day. Then, ill see how close to 11s I am and maybe get the rest of the smaller bolt ons to reach 11s. My stock stalled auto did 12.6 in great DA so with this ss3600 in the same DA I am expecting 12.2 and under.

if your gears are stock then they are either 3.23 or 2.73, you will need atleast a 3.42 with stall converter 3200 atleast and get a tune done, and yes get some damn tires, you will need them, preferrebly mickey thompsons

I could be wrong, but if its not a WS6 then you could have 2.73 gears. go with stall, cam, headers and drag radials or cheater slicks...
