Got at best of 13.699 @ 96.73 with 1.8 60ft. What mods do I need now to get in the 12s?

Lets not consider Spray or Boost right now. Any other bolt-ons?

 

cam , electric water pump , headers

 

LTs and get rid of the BLOWmaster. Larger than stock TB may help but not much....suspension work is definately in your best interest. no reason to make more power if you can't put it to the ground.........otherwise, you are nearly maxed out on bolt-ons...maybe pullies, or 1.6 RR. also, throw in a lil weight reduction while your at it.

 

LT1 says it right.............screw flowmaster, and get some other goodies, i would say LTs and duals

 

96 lt-1 Which cam?

The LT1 that could- Do you think LTs and a cutout?

 

Longtubes and a real exhaust should get you there.

 

Cutouts are nice, but reall true duals give you the flow and the backpressure yo uneed.

 

Amen.....ditch the flowmaster get real exhuast (personaly I'd recomend Borla if you have the money and SLP Loudmouth if you don't) and some headers and you'll get where you want to be.

 

LTs and an X Pipe (True Dual) System. They are almost as cheap to fab up as aftermarket catbacks, have a much better sound, and yield much better results.

A cam isn't really considered a bolt on, so i wouldn't even think about doing a cam, until you have at least LTs.

 

I say bigger stall to! I went the stall route once and figured out anything below 3000 is USELESS! and wat converter are u currently running? a GOOD converter can make a world of difference

 

It depends on the application and supporting parts. Just because it was useless for you doens't mean it is for everyone's setup.

For a stock cam 2800 is perfectly reasonable and probably a good choice.

 

couldn't have said it better myself. Having a converter that is setup for your specific application is the best thing to do. My TCI SSF-3800 is going too be way too much converter for my N/A setup, but on the spray, it will rock nuts! I think the 2800 he has will be just fine until he starts making some more power, then he should send it off for a restall.

 

Headers,Torque Arm,1.6RR's and remove the front sway bar.

That should get you there.

BTW you only need .7 LOL

 

I thought about removing my front sway bar, how is that for the street? What kind of gains for the strip would I see w/o it? Sub frames, LCA's, a K-member, torque arm, would be EXCELLENT mods. How hard is it to take the sway bar out?

 

LT's and exahust should get you in the high 12's. Nice 60'. thats the hard part..just unchoke the car and you should be there.

 

Just buy new endlinks for it and back the nuts off at the track to allow the front end to rise.

Then tighten them back down for the trip home.

Handling would be poor on hard cornering or aggressive street driving without it.

If your running front skinnies on the street it wouldn't make much difference though.

 

I don't corner hard at all. How much are endlinks? I plan on having it out fully, not just for the track.

 

If your gonna take it out just forget the endlinks...I have mine out, but havn't ran the car at the track since I put my cam in. No tire and traction right now is a big issue.

 

The end links are like $20 with the poly bushings. I took my swaybar off for a track day a couple years ago and it hasnt been back on the car yet. My car is lowered and to be completly honest, I couldnt tell that much of a difference. Ive driven cars that I could tell a difference with and without it and the only thing that I can think of is that being lowered has something to do with it. Lower center of gravity or something, who knows? I drive on my skinnies all the time anyways so I gotta take corners like an old fart no matter what, haha. Also, like slowmofo said, if youre gonna take the swaybar completly out, dont worry about buying new endlinks. Doesnt make much sence to have new endlinks on a swaybar thats sitting in the garage.

 

I think I'll take it off. I don't drive like an *** around corners though, so I should be fine. I heard that going off ramps sucks *****, and that it bobs a lot. I do have traction problems, so hopefully this will help.
