Default next mod?

so i have a '99 camaro z28 that i bought a year ago. it went 12.8@108 1.9 60' when i first got it with lid and cat-back. since then ive done:ported/polished tb, ls6 intake, underdrive pulleys, circle d 3400 stall, b&m shift kit and transcooler, mickey thompson dr's(255/60/16) and a tune. it just went 12.14@111.7 1.67 60' at atco this past sat. im considering longtubes as my next mod to break the 11 sec barrier. unfortunately i have eibach sportline springs which lowered the car a little too low and i believe i have to at least get eibach pro-kit to raise it up. i have a used NOS kit i bought off of a buddy laying around at the moment also. im not sure if spraying the car on stock exhaust manifolds is ok? car hooks really well at the track btw. any suggestions of where to go next? i dont want to go too nuts price-wise

I would for sure throw a set of long tubes on there. Find some that dont break the bank and then spray it with a small shot(100-125) of nitrous.

those are some great times! I was gonna suggest suspension like a torque arm and lca with relocation brackets but you already have good 60' times. You should still see an improvement though, especially with the MTs. Id also recommend longtubes and maybe an electric cutout.

a 1.9 60 ft just doesn't sound that great on DR's

I was doing 2.0 on crap *** street tires .. you need some suspension under that thing that is going to help with the launch before you get into more power

@cheezebandit, you read it wrong, 1.9 was when stock with only lid and catback. Now hes cutting 1.67 after DRs. But yeah id try to lower it with suspension parts.

thanks guys. im gonna look into some suspension stuff and i actually just found some used slp headers, so with some luck, i can grab them for cheap and get in the 11s. btw, my last trip to atco(12/11/11), i went 12.01@112.5 with a 1.64 60'.
