Is it pushing your car? I don't know why else you would want new rotors.

Get some good drag radials and you will hook.

Yeah, I was j/k... for less spin, do a Torque Arm, LCAs with relocation brackets, and shocks. Check out Spohn, they make some kickass LT1 suspension shtuff. Other than that, try BMR, Hotchkis, blahblah...

time for bed.. 151 is hittin me hard now

you will hardly ever see the advertised stall of a converter by footbraking. i have a Pro Yank Extreme 3800 and can only footbrake till about 32-3400 MAX and that is with hoosiers.

if you flash the converter, i.e. get good tires,hold it around 13-1600 and then nail it,it will flash to 3k and hit hard.
