Default ESTIMATE MY TIME

last year I ran 12.9 @ 110 (good track prep)

I will have Cartek clutch, G2 torque arm,G2 control arms, G2 PHR,G2 engine brace and sway bars, G2 subframes, v-brace & safety loop
and maybe slicks

how much will these improve me?

thanx

You'll have to tell us about your car first. What mods do you have done currently?

All that stuff will slow you down, but the slicks might make up a bit of it. I guess same ET/MPH.

all the stock stuff is good for stock power when u get to 400rwhp then u might need the relocation brackets and the tq arm and the panhard rod. lowering springs are for handling and other stuff they kinda help you at the drag strip more if you get drag specific springs

Dont waste your money on relo brackets yet. Your rear will surely break with 400RWHP and drag slicks. Wait and put relos on your 12 bolt <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> .

All the suspension extra's are great and will not improve your times much but it will be good to have once you start putting 400-600 rwhp to the ground as it will help your launches with that HP behind it..Tires will always help!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
