Need .8 seconds in 1/4, What mods are next?

Got at best of 13.699 @ 96.73 with 1.8 60ft. What mods do I need now to get in the 12s?

Lets not consider Spray or Boost right now. Any other bolt-ons?

running stock manifolds? A nice set of long tubes would help a BUNCH.

What do you think LTs and a cutout would be worth?

LTs for sure.
What converter is that? They are not created equal.

LT's, ORY, cutout/or ditch that flowmaster. Some LCA's, and relocation brackets should help get that 60' a little better for you. That should do it for you.

am i the only one that thinks he's running really slow for his mods? What altitude are you at?

LTs, dump the cat, cut-out and some suspension mods to get a better 60. You should be close.

Good Torque Converter - Edge, Vigilante (Never Heard of Spec-rite?)
Longtube Headers
Off Road Y-pipe
Actual 3" catback, not flowmaster
Electric Waterpump
1.6 Roller Rockers
ASP 23% underdrive pulley

MarkyMark is pulling a 12.95 with a stock converter and no roller rockers, so it is possible.

Re: Need .8 seconds in 1/4, What mods are next?

You only need .8 seconds. With that converter and ET streets you should be pulling better than a 1.8 60 ft. I think the LCA's, and Relocation brackets should be able to help you get that 60ft to a 1.6 or so. That equates to .3-.4 at the end of the 1/4 alone. I believe that a good set of LT's, ORY, and cutout, followed by a good tune should get you there. With the rest of the mods others stated you should be deep in the 12's.

Re: Need .8 seconds in 1/4, What mods are next?

96mph seems slow for those mods. I think you need to have the car checked out and make sure that everything is OK. The tranny is not slipping or the converter. It should be running 100+mph. Maybe your running at high altitude. Later Clint
