Default help me win

I got beat by a 69 Mach 1 on grudge night by my co-worker.1/8 mi.

69 Mach1....7.989

02 T/A A4 vert....8.128

He had slicks w/373 gears

I had street tires w/273s

We are racing on the first friday of June.I think my LS1 has more power than his mustang.I'm getting BFGs DR and 323 gears this friday.My current mods are.

FRA/K&N,SLP Lid,SLP LM,descreened,SFCs,Sportlines,bilstiens,that's it.What can i do without voiding my warranty to get more power,or should i go with the gears and DRs for now and see how well i do.

Please help....you guys have taken me this far.

I want to walk the Mach 1.

Get extra wheels and put some et streets on. Forget the warranty and get a converter.

OK what about a ported TB? Find an extra one and port it or get it ported. If you need warranty work you could always swap the old one back on. You can always get it programmed with LS1edit. Hmmmm if I think of more I will let ya know.

I've thought about forgetting the warranty.Probably will never use it anyway.

The wheels you advertised J.P. were meant for me.It was the first time i shopped in the parts for sale catagory and there they were.....wheels for me.
