You're really going to need a cam to to get into 12's. I recommend the cc503. Then i'd do headers and work on the suspension. Boxed LCA's, relocation brackets, and a set of slicks. You should be deep into the 12's with this setup.

I don't know why a LE1 head & cam package is $1200, coated Pacesetter LT's & ory are $550, GM Motive gears are $200, a set or 1.6 rrs' can be had for about $250 and a gasket set is about $200. So that's a total of $2400, so why can't it be done?

Well I guess you might have proved me wrong. What about shipping charges? Is the OP doing all the labor himself? Does he have a place to do it with the proper tools?

It can be done like you said if he already has a place, tools, and the know how to do a head, cam, gear swap

I've yet to read some one mention a rear. We all know the 10 bolt isn't going to handle launches on a 6spd with drag radials. Hell im on my 4th and final 10 bolt because of that.

Exactly, and your going to nail those shifts on a 6 speed, granny any and your not going to hit 12's.

You don't need a cam to get in the 12's. I run 12.70's @ 105MPH all day in good air with a '96 Z28 convertible A4. Mods are K&N CAI, MAC mids, Magnaflow 3" cat, the dreaded flowmaster catback, yank SS3600 converter, 4.10's, 160 stat and a tune. I remove the front sway bar, spare, and jack and run 26x10.5 Et streets on the stock salad shooters with cheap summit 15x4's up front. The car even ran a bunch of 13.3 @100 with just the CAI, converter, 4.10's and et streets.

Apples to Oranges. I don't know anyone willing to take the risk of running 4.10's with a pair of 10.5 Et street's on their 10 bolt/m6 car. That sounds like a recipe for disaster. I'm leaning towards a 9in. if I keep the m6 idea for a drag car.

it will slow you up when it breaks. And it will with clutch dumps on radials
