improvements

whats the equivalent of a 9.0 1/8 mile pass in 1/4 mile ET. I think you should definitely change the gearing...that will make a huge difference. I think i dropped almost .5 seconds in the quarter when i went from 2.73's to 3.73's. Also think about subframe connectors and a nice exhaust set-up.

hey on the 1/8th mile im getting mid 10's i could make it high 9's if i improve my reaction time. the only things done are in my sig motor is stock. so if i were to but the x pipe with borla mufflers, bbk long tube headers and changed the diff to 373, could you guys guess what my times may be then??? oh and thinking about bbk ssi intake or professional products spyder intake for efi. thanks

Your reaction time has nothing to do with your ET or your MPH.

What is your budget? Gears will definately help and while you are down there some control arms would be help complete the rear end. Subframe connectors would be nice to tighten up the car. Exhaust for a stock motor unless your cats are clogged really doesn't net you very good hp per dollar. Full exhaust will run you at least 1k so I would put that money elseware. I would shy away from the SSI and get something proven like an Edelbrock/typhoon or cobra/gt40/explorer if you are keeping the stock heads for now. They will work just fine once you get heads but if you get a Holley or TFS you really can't take advantage of them till you get some better heads.

My car went 9 flat with basic boltons like what you posted, street tires and 3.73's. I have'nt been able to drive my car with the new setup posted in my sig, so it's driving me crazy. I need to get it tuned. Oh by the way that was with another person in the car with me.

I was hoping somebody would say that. The clock starts when your car moves, not when the light turns green.
