13.27 @107mph with a 2.0 60"-What next?

I am looking to take the next step with the Z. I have every single bolt on imaginable include airfoil and Meizere Water pump. I have goon as fast as 13.27 with stock suspension and stock size tires(245/50/16). I need to know if I should go with a Heads and cam Package or Power adder. I plan on rounding up all the parts before Winter so I can pull the engine if need be while shes down for the winter storage. What do you guys think I need to do?

....PS stock rearend still lives even though shes bleed some Gear lube out the Pinion seal.

Oh and this was speed shifting the car


Unfortunately along with the possibility of pulling the motor and I will be rebuilding the trans this time because I am having trouble the 5th/6th gear syncro assembly

tires, hal qa1's and more seat time....your short times need a ton of help. you have the mph to get deep into the 12's.

def. get tires your trap speed is very high 12's should easily be attainable with some practice.

Suspension and tires.

You should be at least in the mid 12's with that and some more practice.

Well thanks guys, thats what I was wondering....It is a mother to get this thing down the track with limited wheel spin....I think I might get some Lower control arms with Relocation brackets(due to the car being lowered) and I am looking into getting Black 17x9 and 17x11 ZR1 wheels with some Nittos on the back or ET streets

Absolutely - the IC is probably several feet behind the car at this point.

For track use, look for a set of used Welds (15x4, 15x8) and get some ET streets for the rears, with bias ply front runners. Reducing unsprung weight is key, and the ET streets will have better traction than any Nitto.

And practice. You'll be ecstatic once you get your short times in the 1.6-1.7 range, then you'll be running deep 12's.
