HP wise you are pushing the stock injectors, IMHO.

gears: not much difference in what you have vs what you propose. i would go more with being sure to finish the run in the top of a gear (rather than swapping gears and needing to shift). very little % difference in those two though.

trac lok is the rear end traction control (if you search about it).

good luck.

If you cut a 1.80 60ft you should be knocking on the door of 12's right there. I think its like every .1 60ft is like .2 for the et.

Check out the difference in the 60's times and my 1/4 times with slicks and no slicks. Get that trak-lok fixed and slap some sticky mickeys on that girl and I'd say you'd be darn close to 12's, but it might take a while. I know your car is a vert, but 291 rwhp should be easy 12's. I know I don't make even close to 291 rwhp (3300 lbs.) and I got there. What mph are you trapping? That would be a good indicator if you'll get there. If your trapping any less than 105, it will be close.

yep!

if you cant hook with 3.73s, then dont go to 4.10s. the suspension stuff will really help.

posi: either rebuild or get an aftermarket one.
