Default Getting a STS car off the line.

Ok, my first post here. I've got a 2000 SS with a STS turbo on it, base kit running 6 psi. My best run is something like 12.18 @ 117 give or take a mph, with a 1.98 60'. (best mph is 120.x) I've got an A4 and 315 BFG drag radials. 42# injectors. 17" wheels, full street trim (thats the way i like it)

My options,

Stall (probably a 3000-3600 vig)
N2O (25 dry shot or something like that, bonus of gains past the starting line)
2 step? Will this even work without a stall? Where can i get one even if i wanted one.
Any other suggestions?

Car should be capable of 1.6x 60's easy with the proper setup. What do you guys think?

No mater what i do i'll be upgrading the driveshaft and probably the fuel pump too.

Any help would be great

I just had a 3400 Yank installed on my car and It made a WORLD of difference off the line. By Far the Most Felt Mod I have done to the Camaro to date. I havent made it to the track to see how much my 60ft times have Improved though.

You are running stock mains, right? All of your charge piping is heat wrapped, right?

Get a stall and footbrake the **** out of her at the line.

I've got a Vig 3400-3600 and have gotten a best 60' of 1.57. This was on my 315/30-18" bfg drag radials. That was on my best 1/8th mile pass ever...6.77@107. I can footbrake to about 2400 and it launches OK, still won't make any boost at the line though. IMO, you need a converter. Good luck!

you want to keep the charge pipe as cold as possible right? my exhaust side is heat wrapped. my charge pipe only comes close to the exhaust side at 1 point..... under the K member by the driver side obviously
