Default 1996 Z28 - Was stock, added bolt ons and DRs

Hey guys. I bought a bone stock 1996 Z28 with the 3.23 gears back in October and made it out to the track a couple times before winter.

Personal best is a 14.27 @ 97.6 mph 2.13 60' 9.20 1/8 mile.

Over the winter, I have installed a Lingenfelter CAI, Pacesetter long tubes with y-pipe (no cat), hooker cat back, new plugs/wires, Madtuner tune, and went with Weld RT-S rims, drag radials 275/50/15, FP lower control arms.

Any thoughts on what I will run now??? What's the next mod I should do?

If you can hook and cut a better 60 than 2.13.

Which I think should be no prob now with those dr's and especially lca's.

I think you should be very low 13's all day man. Hell maybe even better.

Yeah, the 2.13 60 foot was with the tires that came on the car when I bought it. I think they did ok for what I was doing, but the drag radials should help hook it up with more power.

Yeah I agree, honestly 2.13 w street tires isn't all that bad, but there is a lot of time to be improved there. The mods you did was what needed to be done. Next time at the track you should be pleased, car will be a whole different animal.

Added more mods- Ordered a 3400 stall converter from Revmax. Should be here any day. Might get me close to 12.99 hopefully!
