10.76@128 bolt on 16SS A8

My WR is-Front seat removed. Rear seat delete kit. 20 lb battery. Drag pack. Race brakes in front. Exhaust dumps.
I usually run an mbrp exhaust rest of the year I can easily swap to my dumps for the track. Front seat takes ten min to remove. The RSD kit looks nice and I actually have better storage now. It was useless for passengers over 3ft tall anyway. Battery is an easy swap. The most hardcore thing I’ve done is the front race brakes. Which I was hesitant about but don’t regret them so far. Hardly notice

Congrats! Did you ever run on 93 with current mods to see what the difference would be? Do you think the MSD intake would help or is there another intake used on gen6 cars?

the ported stock intake is a good much cheaper option. And it is better than a non ported msd for bolt on cars. With bolt on cars the msd is only slightly better and only if ported. Maybe a tenth over ported stock. I noticed more gain in mph about 2mph over ported stock. When you go heads and cam an msd really shines. 30 rwhp gain over 6000 rpm compared to stock. Other than that I’ve seen a couple hardcore options that are for 3500-8000 rpm setups. Texas speed is using one. Holley hi ram. And a couple other similar designs such as the goertz sheet metal intake very pricey and you lose a lot of low end.
ive run a ported stock and now run a ported msd first hand experience. As well as other info I’ve gathered from others at the track and dyno numbers

A gear in the 3.08 to 3.27 range is best for a bolt on car depending on tire height and trap etc. some have tried a 3.73 and it didn’t seem to help because of an extra shift into 6th. Someone has now gotten a v6 1le 3.27 diff to work in an SS and it looks like it’s worth about a tenth
so yeah right now gears and converter only worth a couple tenths. Maybe a little more inthe future

headers, cai, E85, ported stock manifold and a 26 tall drag pack will get you high tens with good tuning with DA under 1500 or so. Traps around 123-125 range
if just hitting tens is your goal that’s the cheapest possible route.
im hunting for a 10.5 in negative DA and I have had to do a few more things. I’m sure I could go bottom tens with gear converter and fuel but I’m probably going to move on to heads cam next year figure 10.5 bolt on is respectable enough. 9s NA is my end goal and I should be able to do it without too much trouble given how fast I’m already going
look into pray performance when you get a 6g. Great guy. Great service. And is a 6gen whisperer. Knows everything about them. Amazing tuner. Great with porting. Anything you need. At this point in the game the difference between tune quality is huge. Not an easy platform to nail down and only a few guys really know what’s up at this point.
