Default What will get me into the 11's?

I have this and I run 12.38..

Thunder Racing 224/224 cam
Comp 918 springs
Thunder push rods
ASP pulley
SLP longtube headers
off-road Y-pipe
3.5" driveshaft
Moser 12 bolt w/4.10's
Basic tune by Next Level Performance/Norris Motorsports

What should I do next? I guess NOS would be the cheapest way huh? Any other suggestions?

I heard descreened maf does not do too much unless running dry nos.

Do I really need to worry about lower arms to help wheel hop just to break into 11's?

don't descreen the mass air flow. do you still have air conditioning on your car? what tires you running? any suspenchion mods? NOS is great,look at the T'N'T kit i have it and two of my buds have the NX kit,when the saw my #'s and performance one switched to the t'n't and the other just cries.

I dont want to pull the AC because I drive the car almost every day. So I cant do weight reduction. Yeah I need to get SFC and strut bar. Whats the differnce between cheaper one and expensive also does bolt on suck?

just spray it then. you don't need the air. i pulled the a.i.r system,air conditioning and front sway 60lbs total removed. i gained 1.9 tenths all day for free. get some slicks a few susp-mods and spray it. should be in the 11.1-11.3 area on the hose w/tires.

Especially on a 6-speed car. I've still got to put QA1's on the back, get an wolfe craft anti-roll bar, and a tubular k-member.
