Default What will these mods be worth in the 1/4?

As most of you already know, my last 2 trips to track netted me a stack of 11.DOH timeslips running on the motor... my setup is a 385CI LS1 with a 700R4 and 4.10's... I am getting the following mods done this week... what sort of improvement do you think I will see? My MPH is in the 123-124 range with sixties in the 1.50 range...

Going from a 78MM LSX to a 90MM LSX
Going from a stock ported TB to a 90MM NW
Adding an electric water pump
Removing the power steering pump and going with BMR's short belt kit
Adding a Fast Toys Ram Air

I am hoping to go from 11.0's to 10.8's... I am being too optomistic?

I think that is possible. I gained about 10rwhp going from a 78mm LSX to 90mm LSX. If I was you I'd add the FTRA at the track. make a pass and then put it on to see exactly what gains it gives you. I don't think the EWP and short belt are worth more than half a tenth together.

My best so far is an 11.04... I would be happy with a 10.999 I don't think I will be wrenching at the track, so chances are I will be driving to the track with the FTRA installed...

Thanks for the reply!

The car will be re-dynoed and tuned this week after the mods are installed... we'll see what sort of gains I get before hitting the track!

awsome setup and times. you've hit ten's on the bottle right?? now you just want to hit that mark N/A?? i think you'll definetly hit high tens... you were already soooo close, i think 10.8 is possible. i'd love to see the new dyno #'s.
