How can I eek a few tenths? OK since being forced into buying a 12-bolt for the Z due to 10-bolt breakage, my budget is somewhat suffering right now. I don't want to let this stop me from getting into the 12's though. I bought the car a year ago and have been doing my best to do something with it at least every month that makes it a tad faster. With a limited budget what can be done? Here's what I've got...
2000 Z28 M6
FTRA
K&N w/ Lid
GMAF
Free EGR tube mod
12-bolt
13.0 @ 110, 2.0 60ft.
I also just bought a set of BFG DR's and haven't tried them on a track yet. I am probably going to remove the rear seats and passenger seat. The car has power everything and I am considering removing the AC as well and probably the front swaybar at the track. What else can I do?
Thanks,
Mike

Re: How can I eek a few tenths? That's easy....get a cutout. I didn't notice one listed so I assume you don't have one. I picked up a solid .15 sec with just that. 35 bucks or you can do like I did and use a 3" header collector.

Re: How can I eek a few tenths? c <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> cut-out, ASAP pulley, skinnies upfront, remove spare tire and jack, used minimum gas in tank for lighter car, vary air pressure in back for maximum traction for 60 foot times, etc.
