need a few more tenth's
 

sup guys i need some help.
well i ran at the track yesterday and i was pleased with the results but i need just a little more.heres the run
60'ft 1.991
330. 5.621
1/8 8.525@85.14
1/4 13.167@105xx
it was 75 f out side and my mods are lid' catback[not shure what brand] and a hypershit programmer lol and msd wires with ngk tr55gp plugs
275/40/17 falken 451 street tires
for the suspention i have blistens' lakewood lca's' brm relo brackets and its lowered.
im looking for some cheap mods for those extra few tenth's to break 12's
it might be posible if it was colder but id like to breal 12's soon
what would you guys sugest?
i was going to get a p&p tb from thunder racking [i wont do it my self] but other than that im stuck.
thanks for the info guys

I would say go ahead and get a p&p throttle body, look into a cutout, and do your typical free mods... tb bypass, etc... maybe and underdrive pulley?

ls6 intake
tb
pulley
ssra

13.16@85mph?

thats what i was thinkin...

anyway heres what i would do in order
tires
headers
ls6 intake
converter w/ cooler

bet you could get low 12's with that set up but tires are a must

well the 85mph is wierd so i would try and keep it full throttled past the finish line but some drag radials or better should work. if you went 1.991 at your sixty foot and could drop it to a 1.89 then your 1/4 mile time should be 12.967. for the fun of it go with a 50 dry shot. bet your in the twelves then.

my 95' v6 camaro trapped 88mph. somethings wrong, or you rock at driving a 14 second car.

the time and mph don't mix...

I think there may something wrong with that radar trapping your speed because most of us even in crappy altitudes are pushing well over 90mph...

I think he ment 85mph at the 1/8

Thats a great time for your mods... Get a CAI, K&N filter, PTB from Tim, LS6 intake... about $500 and you'll be high 12's.
But headers, gears and stall are a must for the future.

get a good set of drag radials and drop your 60ft and i bet you'll be in the 12's

It sais you have a 02 longblock, might already have the ls6 intake.

P&P TB from new era is only $75, that might push you into 12s, with a slightly better launch.

Then there's the obvious: headers and a tune, or converter. I would do headers, custom catted Y, tb, ls6 intake, Magnaflow catback, then tune. You should be mid 12s then. Get drag radials on separate rims if you are into 1/4 mile alot, could get you low 12s with good launch.

Get a converter if you are serious about 1/4 mile. Need drag radials with a converter. Should knock a good half second off. IMO crappy for the street. Some will argue this but I like the stock powerband for street only driving.

Then there's cam, heads, yadda yadda

i typed the mph wrong it was 85xx mph in the 1/8 and 105 in the quarter.
well i have the ls1 intake because the guy who did the engine swap kept the smog shit on there to pass smog in tn. i got the car right after the swap was done on the engine and he sold the ls6 intake.
maybe colder weather might help also.
will a set of nitto dr's be ok because its a dd

My 00 T/A ran almost exactly the same times last weekend. Same 60's and everything and I have basically the same mods.

My car was dead hooking flooring from the line with 3.73's and 275/40/18 sumitomo's. In this case DR's will probably slow you down more than it will help. If your spinning than it's a different story.

Weight reduction is free. There are some good posts about weight reduction on this site. If you could drop 100-150 lbs you would be in the 12's easy.

I just added pacesetter race longtubes and O/R y-pipe. Also got rid of all the emmissions crap.......probably dropped 50lbs right there.

I bet I get some 12's this weekend!

drop me a pm if you are interested in a ported tb, ill hook you up :devil:

i just got a set of 555R's and i love them. and yea, my car is a dd. they arent even that bad in the rain, u just cant be an ass. if you werent spinning though, they might slow you down (as was said in a post above)

well i was foot brakeing it a little but i could have gone a little more rpm.
on another run i gave it more rpm but i floored it to fast and left side ways lol.
so i think i could leave a little better with more rpm.
might go with the nitto's and a p&p tb

nittos and p&p tb should definitely get you 12's
