Which mod would benefit me the most in a 1/4 mile. My car has 2.73s i was thinking 3.73s and a vigalante 2800 (daily driver) and some pacesetters. But what mod should be done before the other two ? Due to my limited budget i can only do so much at a time. The other question is : How much can i really gain with long tubes if i have an 01 and the manifolds flow better then 98-00 ?

 

The stall will give you the biggest ET gain at the strip. It will also be the most noticable on the old SOTP meter!

 

either mod will be ideal as a next step.

i would keep an eye on the GP forum and see which you can get first for a good price.

the LTs will gain about 15hp to the wheels over you current setup. are you going to have to run cats in NY?

 

get rid of those gears asap

 

Teke184 : I will not have to run cats because we know some1 who does inspection.
Im thinking about pacesetters . My friend just installed them on his 98 t/a good fitment. The only thing i would do is buy a different y-pipe !

 

Converter 1st..

 

any recomendation for a daily driver, seeing more street racing then track racing ?

 

Texas-speed is running a special on pacesetters w/ a 3" catted y pipe for $700(just incase your friend leaves).I went from 3.23 to 3.73, WOW.If you go w/ gears just remember you will need to change that in the computer,not sure about the stall, just a thought.

 

id go with a yank or vigilante stall with some sticky tires.



you might need a tune though.


its still worth it.

 

I got a killer deal on ls1 edit software so i bought it. How big of a stall should i go with for a daily driver ?
1stls1: i dont need a catted y pipe i found pacesetters coated with this companys custom coated y pipe for 500 $.

 

Unfortunately, gears alone don't make the difference you'd expect.....I've learned this the hard way. Not to say they don't work good, 'cause they do (check times in my sig) but on a bad night, I'm still only running ~13.5 even with 4.10's.

For 1/4 mile improvement, I think that a stall will probably be the 1 single most noticable change. Just make sure to invest in some stickier than street tires.

 

I did my whole transmission 1st.. I got a TCI Super Street Fighter Stall for 479$. ITs a 3500 stall and what a difference it made. Feels like a totally different car. I also did a transgo shifkit,and trans cooler. Definetly the best money I have spent so far. Next on my list is Longtubes

 

How is the 3500 stall on a daily driver? I'm runnig 3.73 gears now and the motor revs up now on the hwy,so what will this do?

 

I to am trying to deside b/n conv or LT w/ catted 3" y(on sale for $700). With my mods, what do you guys think?

 

You can still get a lock-up converter, even at ~3500 rpm stall. On the highway, there should be no difference at all. It's only in-town driving where you notice the stall.
