How am I doing?

I was just wondering how I'm doing on mods so far.

Right now, I've got all the mods listed in my sig.

As you can see, before the stall and LCA's went in, I ran a 12.97 (crappy DA). Now, I've got some more mods on the way:

QTP 1 3/4" headers w/ ORY-pipe
Motive 3.73's with TA Girdle
LSX 78mm intake (used, got great deal)
ASP Pulley
Getting someone to port my TB

After I get everything put on, I'm getting her tuned.

So, how will I be sitting? I'm hoping I can be a little close to 11s, if not BE there.

Am I missing any good bolt-ons?

So you're telling me a stall, LCA's, headers, pulley, intake, gears, and ported TB are only worth .4-.5?

I said the 12.9 was BEFORE the stall. The car should be at 12.4-5 AS IS, right? I know quite a few LS1 guys that knocked off .4-5 with the same stall as me.

3175lbs with driver? did he forget to mention the !motor mod and the "pulled behind a rocket sled" mod?

Wish I could get my vert that lights while leaving all that stuff in tact like he mentions. This thing is 3570 plus me...

Re: How am I doing?

I don't know how far I'd be willing to go, just to shed some pounds.

I did an entry-level diet before my last race and got the car down to 3360. Then add on my 165lb ***, and there you go.

I could probably sacrifice a few more things though. There's a guy in our local club that is a **** when it comes to weight. He's got his tin-can below the 3000 mark. I might have him help me out a bit. I can always take out the very back two speakers, take out carpet and padding, then get some light weight stuff. Lightweight suspension pieces, lightweight battery... there's a FEW things left that won't sacrifice much. I just can't see myself ditching the AC system like so many people here...
