Default What ELSE CAN I do to go faster????

Well besides headers and an ls6 intake? I have my eyes on a pulley for cheap. I still have a SCC ram air hood and set up to do and also the throttle body bypass mod. I am going to have ls1 edit before long to help me tune it out and get rid of the torque management which I hope has contributed to my mph loss b/c the car just about dies when it shifts into second gear, I have also been told that could be just plane old KR. I also have some weight reduction to do. I figure if I can get the second gear bog to stop and some good cool weather and a good hook I can get a good 12.30 pass without headers or an intake(which is my personal goal) and then add those later. I figure that would be kind of an acheivement since its SOOOOOOO hot and humid down here right now.

Good luck with that. My goal is to run an 11.anything without major weight reduction or engine bolt-ons. I've run a 12.15 weighing 3575lbs. with everything from the MAF thru the manifolds stock.

I don't think I will able to acheive a low 12 without the things I mention above. I would REALLY like to go low 12's or high 11's with out headers. Which shouldn't actually be hard. But I don't think I could get any better than a 11.8 or so with the headers... or maybe a 11.7 or so with an ls6 intake and headers.
