If you already havent, you should run a short belt and bypass the power steering. That's worth a couple tenths....

Bump****
Well took the car on Friday and for it to spin out the hole the car did freaking good!
12.15s on a 2000 SS going to do a BMR suspension change and maybe an intake manifold and get as deep into the 11s as we can lol
Car has:
Ported throttle body
Old broken lid
1 7/8 TSP headers
3" x pipe and duals
Under drive pulley
3600 circle D
15s all the way around
26" M/Ts

Next step:
BMR K-member with upper/lower control arms
BMR drag suspension level 2
After market intake manifold
Bigger throttle body
A nicer lid
Ram air scoop
Rearend (unknown) 3:90 gears or 3:73s ???
Still working on ideas

very nice! just doing the suspension should get you in the 11s dont you think? Better set-up and you will drop some weight.

If you yanked your A/C I'd highly recommend the CHRS1313. That little thing woke my car up! You should hear it suck

Build looking good my man. Weight reduction should get you where you want to be. I'd also suggest losing the A/C system like others have, but the temps are a little different in TX than they are in NJ. Ripped mine out when something broke and didn't want to pay to fix it. A lot of weight lost if you lose the whole package. Cleans up engine bay as well.

Haven't red entire thread, have you upped your gear ratio yet? HUGE difference maker even just going to 3.73's from the 3.23's.
