Formula to run mid-12s on street tires? Alright, I'm setting a goal for my car. I want to run mid-12s on street tires, and maybe low-12/high-11 on the bottle.
What would it take to run mid-12s on street tires without a large stall? I want to keep the streetability of the car, so no large, loppy, non-vacuum cam
. Right now, all I have is a Moroso CAI, 1LE elbow, Borla cat-back, Prothane tranny mount, Spohn LCA.
I know I'm going to have to get a cam, LT's, rr's, better gears, mail tune, and better tires [the stock Eagle RS-A's aren't going to cut it :p].
I know that the LE1 package would easily get me there, but what else would I need to buy in order to use the LE1 package?
Now, the LT4 conversion kit. I know this thing has been beaten to death more then a million times before. I know the LE1 would blow it away, but I just have one question about the conversion. Would it be enough to run mid-12s?

Le1 would work but you should get headers too at least a mid length header..1.6 roller rockers.. I think those are included in le1 cant remember.. I was trapping 114 and running low 12s on street tires with a crappy 2.1 60' and i had a 224/230 112lsa .545/.550 1.6 rollers jet hot long tubes. Valve springs and pushrods to back up the cam.. Cai stock throttle body, stock gears and a spec stage 3 clutch... It doesnt take much you just have to have the right combo that works and Lloyd Elliot can get it for you
