Hey All!
I am a newbie here and I need to tap the wealth of knowledge that is Stangnet. My baby (96GT) just went in for surgery on Monday for a full PI head and intake swap, Mac Longtubes and prochamber. I already have 3.73's, K&N filter and a Jet module (bought with the car).Do I have the right stuff to make it into the 13's? I was getting tired of getting spanked at the track. There is a certain black LT1 I want to suprise at the track. Any thoughts?

You should easily be in the 13's. Most likely a low to mid 13. Are you a 5spd or a auto?

you should break 13s with ease but you might want to get a set of drag radials to harness your new found power...you will need them. A 12 second car can run 15s without traction lol

I have a 5 speed. I've only been to the track once and I was running 15.5's (Not Happy). Major wheel spin. At that time I had very bald tires as well. Recently bought a new set of Hancooks so hopefully I can hook up. I was trying to fool around with launch rpm without being a slug off the line. Does anyone have any ideas about what is a good rpm to launch so as not to be creating too much we spin but still get off the line quick? I was generally launching around 4000. It seemed like I should have had better et's. Inexperience didn't help that's for sure. Thanks guys.
