Going to the track,need to pick up a couple of tenths

I need to get in the 12's this next time out.I ran my times in my sig before I installed my 3200 and shift kit.What else can I do that dosen't cost over 200 dollars and dosen't take a weekend to do.I ran a 13.5 @99 last time cause my trans was acting up.I fixed it and now and I'm ready to go back.Does anyone have instructions on how I can remove the A/C.

Relocation brackets and control arms. Guarantees to shave a few tenth off your time. I prefer the weld-in relocation brackets since they're cheaper and stronger. Of course the savings don't mean much considering you have to get someone to weld them in.

I have them in stock and can get them shipped out today if you order soon.

Get some good flowing headers and you'll hit 12's no problem...w/ that high a$$ stall you could probably hit it without the headers....

Depending on how bad you want it can get a ac delete bracket, and remove all the ac stuff, dont forget to take out the spare tire and jack too.

I heard taking out the backseat is as easy as loosening up a couple of bolts that has to be good for a few lbs

remove the front sway bar, seats, jack/spare tire,. Pull the belt when you get into the staging area and push your car up through (don't run it long like this, the fuel pump loses output with less voltage to it), LCA relocation brackets, and sticky tires if you can afford em, Ice the intake but be careful of getting water everywhere.

Boxed and tubular are both good. I prefer the boxed but many people prefer the tubular because it's slightly lighter. Strength wise both are far better than stock but the boxed is supposed to be stronger than the tubular.

Sent you a PM as well.

Right, that would cause more problems then good. And it isn't going to lower you ETs by much, if anything.
