You should be easily able to run mid to low 12s with the cc306. With just the cam, all bolt ons, and some weight reduction, I am aiming for the 11s before the season is out. Next week I am ordering a 3200 stall and probably some gears.

11's. That would be great. I hope so. Just wait till you get the gears and the TC installed. It's like a whole different car. You WILL NOT believe the difference it makes. You'll deffinately need drag radials if you don't have em' already. Good luck.

I will be in the 12s without gear and stall. Mark my words. Next time I go I will make sure to go properly instead of halfassed. 11s wtih gears and stall. That is the goal.

K..i got another question..changing out my 2.73's to 3.42's will net me what a tenth in the quarter? two? and it will cost me about what 500 bucks? (i dont know the answers to these questions thats why i am asking)

And same thing with a converter? What gains woudl i see from adding a converter that is also very streetable? And what do they run about 700 bucks plus install>

Midwest makes a good converter for aroudn $500 + install. My guess with regular mods you will lose between .5 and 1 full second off ET with just the converter and gears.
