Help improve my combo!

[eric88gt]

Alright, i was just wondering if anybody would have some suggestions to help propel my car a little lower into the 12's than it currently runs (12.50's) I'd like to run 20's or low 30's but am not sure on what to change to gain a little more power. Currently i'm running what's in the signature, 165's with a b303 installed 2 degrees advanced with 1.72 roller rockers. I'm thinking the cam is what i'll be changing but am not sure what i'd like to go with. I'm open for any suggestions.

Thanks

You haven't included enough info on your combo right now. I can help you gain a few tenths by just tweaking. I am running a 13 year old stock motor with a C6 tranny, motor has 110,000 miles and 1,500 runs on it. Car weighs 3,500 pounds with driver. 1.86 best 60 foot and 13.73 best ET.

yeah some more info might be helpful. what gears? any suspension mods? etc. I would think you are getting all the power you can out of that motor and using every bit of it. Since you did not mention anything about the rest of the car, I am going to assume that the suspension is stock. With that I would suggest UCA/LCA's, drag suspension. btw good job on your times.

alright, the motor is an essentially stock rebuild 306, pedestal mount afr 165's with yella terra 1.72 roller rockers, b303 installed 2 degrees advaced, cobra intake with a lower i slightly ported myself, 70mm tb, flowtech longtube headers with flowtech x-pipe, spintech pro street mufflers with turn downs. Hotchkis lca's, stock uppers with poly bushings. Lakewood 50/50 shocks in the rear, stock up front with 4 cyl springs. 3.55 gears with a new traction lock. The car doesn't have a lot done for weight reduction, A/C and fog lamps/bracket removed. Still has 19 lb injectors and a stock fuel pump with an afpr set at 44 pounds. My best 60 ft is a 1.66, but on my 12.51 run it was a 1.78 (spun the et streets). I honestly think it'll run in the 40's the way it is but would like to make a little more power and maybe get some 20's til a turbo arrives...

24lbers, TFS stage 2 cam with TMoss ported or extrude honed Cobra, ported 165's.

I'd like to leave this to cam/intake swaps and stuff like that (bolt ons). So basically, what cam/intake would you recomend? I'm open for suggestions

The lower needs full porting (cheapest and should give ~15HP) or an intake swap. The Performer would need porting too to keep up with those heads. Street Heat, Track Heat, Holley, RPMII - but they won't make the same average power under 6,000 rpm.
