Default 12.68@114.5 w/245/45/17's

I ran my 71 Vega GT ls1/m6 car(see sig) last week and my very first past of the day was 12.68@114.5 1.98 60ft not bad for a light car but then again whats killing me is my 3.08 gears. im going across the line in 3rd and i hit rev limiter right at the line. once i gear down to 3.73's i think i should be close to 11's with that and maybe a new exhaust. motor is a stock ls1 with a intake routed to the inner fender and some not so free flowing headers and single 2.5'' exhaust. what helps me the most is that the car has a decent suspension setup. when i run the car its either i bog it or spin like crazy so i prefered to bog a bit. too bad i cant find some good traction tires about the size i have for my 9.5'' rims but anything bigger than a 245/45/17 will rub so i dont know.

its somewhat of a show car but i wouldnt mind a mini-tub but id probably have to have someone else do it or if i got some new parts for my welder i would. but what do you mean F.I.? forced induction? i was thinking of maybe doing some other things down the road, with not much room i figured id just run a Nitrous kit. possibly a TNT. but not sure as of yet.
