great answer from the guy with the airfoil. bolt-ons, gears/stall, some weight reduction, and a small shot just in case should easily get you to your goals. make a sig so we know what you are starting with. have you had it to the track yet, whats it run?

Depends on what you have done already, if it is a 6speed or auto and if you don't mind doing some weight reduction.

Yea, I might be one of the more helpful people here, but I'm not going to tell someone they are stupid for asking a question..

Maybe the guy doesn't know how to do a search, and is just getting his feet wet with all of this..

Anyone can read things, but some people like to see it explained also because it may be wrote a different way and understood better.

With that you should be low 13's. Good starting point there. You'll have to go to Cordova this year and gab at some of the f-body guys there. A good converter 'bout 3500-4000, some weight reductions, headers, 1.6 roller rockers, suspension, a little shot of juice would be helpful, and a good cat-back.

We were all brand new here once.. Don't be so altercative...

Asking how much N20 is, is on topic also... Guy said get some n20, he wanted to know how much it costs...

I don't mean to be coming off as an ***, but seriously, show a bit more compassion here.. just a new kid wanting to have something explained to him in different ways by different people.. no question is ever a dumb question, unless if you yourself have already told him the answer

Heads/Cam or full bolt-ons, cam, n20

ok ok I posted that before my first cup of coffee so to the op I apologize. There are a lot of good info if you do a search but for every useful tid bit there are 100 that are not. Reading all of the threads gets tiresome and repititious but these things take time. As for the hotcam I am not going to bash it because it is not a bad set up, but for the money there are much better out there. A projected budget would help in narrowing down options and really getting some good feedback but in the end you need to make your own decisions and do your own research. There are a lot of biased opinions on this site and you will come to find out that you hear the same suggestions time and time again. My car should be ehading for the dyno by the end of the weekend so we can start getting some feedback from the Lunati line for lt1, they already have my vote tho
