Heres the current setup, accufab 65mm tb, cobra upper and lower, 1.6 rr's mac headers O/R H and pypes violator cat back with underdrive pulleys. Just had the 2.73's yanked out and some 3.55's put in. car is a speed density, vert automatic.
I rarely get to the track, maybe two or three times a year but would love to break out of the low 9.xx's and get some high 8s. I know the timing is at 12, i could bump it a little and maybe gain some there, decent tires would help, not sure if its spinning or not but i cant launch any higher than 1500 or i start to spin in staging.
ran 9.37 with a 2.17 60' at a little over 75 today.
 
trans was rebuilt about 3 years ago with a shift kit installed. I guess a little weight reduction wouldn't hurt, ive been needing to loose 15 pounds for a while now!
 
15 lbs isnt close to .3 in the 1/8th. What is your budget?

as little as possible. Im thinking that the tires will be where i start, ive never really liked the ones i have. maybe find a spare pair of pony rims and pick up a set of DR's that i can make a few passes on. winter project, other than painting the wifes car.:mad:
 
they are around here somewhere...
