Tell me if anything in my purchase looks bad .... Killer, RC get in here :)

while i was in the shower i was thinking about how much i wanna do this, then i also realized you never mentioned an intake manifold!!!! thats a HUGE restriction on our motor, and it would make a HUGE difference in this setup....i'd try to save just a bit more and get an intake and TB also....they can both be had used on corral for probably a total of $500 give or take a bit......
 
I know, i know. But it came down to either LT's or intake, and I know I can do a header install and by the end of this year I'll try to get an intake.

Still should put down over 300rwhp, so as long as it runs mid 12's I'll be happy. :)

And Paul, you think the AL is worth the extra $40? If so I'll get it, didnt realize the limiter style was different. Does the stock limiter pull fuel?

You will NOT run Mid 12's with a stock H/C/I even with the blower....but you'll still love it.

Well thats my hope, and I'm sticking to it. :p

Remember my 13.8 is with stock everything, including headers. I am adding LT's and am going to go with MT ET Radials on either the stock 16's or a set of drag-lites. It should go 106mph'ish, right? With a badass launch and some driving it should run 12's without too much drama.

I HOPE anyways. :)
 
Well when I said all stock, I meant engine-wise. My only real mods are 373's, offroad hpipe, triax, bumped timing, drga shocks up front, and dr's. Otherwise the manifolds are stock, stock intake, so nothing special.

It ran 14.9 @ 95mph bone stock w/k&n and bumped timing.

So I'm hoping for at least 1sec & ~6-7mph with 10psi S-trim, LT's, better dr's, and a full tune. So I guess we'll see. :)
