Default 3.73's=12's with previous times and mods??

Just curious realy, but as the title says i am jsut wondering if it would be worth it.

As of my last track run, I had the SLP flowpack, SLP LM, and a Z06 MAF that came on the car (that wasnt helping at all) and thats it, giving me a best E.T. of 13.38. My 60 ft. was 2.4, mph was 105.

Since then, i have added the SSRA, a trans go stage 2, billet servos, some mild tuning, a factory MAF that helped mroe than anything, and some very sticky tires.

Hopefully thatll be good enough for 13.0's in cool weather, maybe better. What i want to know is would it be worth it to add 3.73's, and would that get my high 12's.

I dont plan on modding much past this, except for some SFC's.

Should make 12's easy as long as the rear stay together.

i would do a stall before gears... just my opinion. REALLY get that 60' down... but of course you'll need some good tires.

Yeah dude your 60's are horrible.

Not trying to be mean but just practice. I pulled bone stock steel DS and 273's I had 2.0 2.1 60's and went 13.5.....Just hook a little better and you got it

thanks fellas.....i know that 60 ft. is really bad. I had these tires, there called Visa....just like the credit card. They came on the car, i couldnt stnad them. They are pretty hard so they spun alot. I got much much better tires and they bite so good, i just gotta heat em up a bit. I think ill try to run it as is and go from there. Thanks for the advice.
