Into the 12's...
Into the 12's... Last year basically stock I ran 13.4 in june. With new 90mm ported fast intake, 92mm ptm tb, reduction of complete ac system and Powerbond pulley I ran 12.7 this past Wednesday. Both times we're in late June and in the 90's; driving to the track, putting slicks on and racing right away. Looking to keep drilling down and work into 11's. Every little bit counts. I've even heard alot of ppl taking front sway bar out for .10-.20 et reduction. What should be next to get into 11's.
Mods:
- 1 7/8 Texas speed lts with dual cutouts then dumped before axle
- fast 90 ported by vengeance racing
- ptm 92mm tb
- slp lid
- free mod cutout
- Powerbond underdrive pulley
- ssra (super sucker ram air )
- weld wheels bigs and skinnies. Hoosier slicks on back
- weight reduction ; I've taken out radio, speakers, carpet, back seat, original front seats replaced with kirkeys, Jack out, ac/egr and air deleted

All that with a stock converter, what a waste.
Get a converter in that thing and find the power you're supposed to have.
That's a high 11s in a decent DA car.
PT4000 Yank if you don't plan on putting nitrous to it, SS4000 if it's a possibility.
Edit; has that tune been touched up for all those new parts? MPH seems low, but probably just due to converter.

Yea computer was sent out and installed after all parts. Sounds like converter would get me into high 11's as mentioned. Will all my stock bottom end parts hold up after installing aftermarket stall?

As stated the stock bottom end is not a concern. I would be more concerned with the heat added to the transmission. Pick up a transmission cooler. I think you can find some off of Amazon for $50 or so. Also, I believe there is one being sold with a TCI torque converter in the classifieds. You might want to check that out.

I would also step down to some ET Street Drag radials, I can almost guarantee you are losing more than you are gaining with those on the back.
Plenty of ET streets in the 1.5x 60s to warrant their use instead of slicks. I would only use slicks on a mild build M6 car, waste on an auto.
