well ur sig doesnt really say how u have gotten ur claimed 450 hp out of that 350 so i really dont know where to tell u to invest that money into. im not dropping the BS flag on ur 450hp engine.. but i honestly would think that if u have that much hp u should know where that $$ needs to go to by now.

If you have that kinda power you are in SERIOUS need of subframe connectors and suspension work to take care of the traction problems that ensue.

Thanks!! Its a stock L98 internals/intake/manifolds at the time of the run with factory 3:23s. I had bolt ons only which include: airfoil, K&Ns, MSD-6AL, 2 chamber Flowmaster, cutout after Catco cats, crank pulley only, alum DS, MAT relocate., and SLP 2k stall w/ cooler & shift kit. A few suspension pieces too: Spohn LCAs, PHB, SFCs, STB, & BFG drag radials. The car cuts 1.7 60fts runs nice 1/8 times but falls on its face top end wise as I trap horribly around 95 MPH for these ETs. It has a few issues to be worked out but it runs what it runs and if you check my website I have a slew of scanned timeslips, pics and even a few movies if youre interested. Since that ET I added SLP 1 3/4 headers and only went 13.608 so far and I have a complete high flow after market intake and 52mm TB going on sometime soon to try and dip under that ET all while weighing in at 3688lbs last time I weighed the car w/driver...

How about a good set of heads? Aluminum ported and polished ones with the flow numbers matching? LPE sells them.

Not if you run low boost (like 4-6psi) and an intercooler with a good ignition system.
