Default Can I get In??

Going back Sat. to have my second round at the strip. My previous best is a 13.52 @ 102.3 2.12 60' (roughly 85*) Since that trip I have a fully built 4L60E and a 3600 Stall, and a strong tune. I will be on MT ET Radials. (should be about 50* this time) Think I can shave a whole .5 or not likely?

IMHO I think you should dip down into the 12's with those mods. Have you practiced launching with the new stall? I'm curious what you end up with, since I am looking at getting the same size stall and a tune.

102 mph would never make it into the 12's, hopefully you added some power, I'd guess you'd need to run around 108 with your car to break into the 12's.

Doesn't sound like you have much chassis work besides the trans and converter not much else is going to help you.

Do you know how to bypass the power steering just for when you run it at the track? That alone will give you about 0.20 and a couple mph.

Have you done any of the free mods?

Have you ground the throttle body stop?

Have you cut out the middle of the mass air sensor body?

Have you cut out the plastic under the air filter?
