Default Suggestions please

Wanting to get a little more power. Looking at an electric water pump, an underdrive pulley. what else and which kind? Trying to get the most out of this set-up before winter. Any advice would be great.

got am electirc water pump here, and it does look great, but does not gain any if much at the track. It does keep the car's water temps much lower and that will help in the staging lanes... ie just turn the key to on and the water flows, while the oil does not get hotter.

Didn't you go with a pully when you did the cam?low gains too, but maybe 5RWHp?

IMO I would get some tires, or better tires, maybe a CCW drag package? I lost 80 LBs with this mod, plus it will help your short times. If you are not getting low 1.5s to mids now, that might help. What tires are you running now???

Default Thanx

Thanx for the reply. I am running nitto 555r's right now. I was thinking about trying the et streets. I wasnt planning on getting wheels at all. if i can lose that much weight i may have to change my mind on that. I still need the dte brace and some suspension work. I was sure that the car can drop in to the low 11 area just need some fine tuning and more track time.
