Default how to get my car to the 10's

I plan on using my current setup and getting heads, or spraying 150 shot, or both, so i guess my question is what kind of suspension will get me a good enough launch to get into the 10's

i was looking into the hal setup with bmr spings or dynamic motorsport springs... as well as some dr's, i will be running on stock 16" camaro wheels or 17"zr1s with the 11" in the back ..any thoughts?

Gas would probably be easier, quicker way to get into the 10's.

What transmission are you running?

Have you had the car to the track at all?

The only drag radial I'd recommend trying to get into the 10's with is the MT ET Street Drag Radials. But there isn't alot of options for a 16" wheel. A regular ET Street in a 26x10.5-16 would work for what your trying to do, but it's no drag radial.

Put skinnies and welds on the car.Run ET Streets and spray the setup u have now with a 150 shot and it'll run 10's for sure.

Suspension is a very important part that is usually overlooked. Some sticky tires (MT ET Drag Radials, ET Streets, etc). Some good lower control arms and relocation brakets. A decent set of adjustable shocks. There was a big GP in the GP forum for HAL's right now. I sell Spohn, Wolfe, NX, and some pretty nice cnc'd heads that would help you meet your goals. Let me know if I can do anything. Nice looking car too by the way!
