Want to run 12's

I just installed 4.10 gears, pacesetter long tube headers, 2.5inch true duals, and lakewood action lift bars. How fast do you think she is?

well, its a4, and you don't have a stall converter or shift kit listed, so id say a mid-low 13?

With good tires I bet you can get some low 13s. Gotta drive the hell out of it though!

Throw a converter on it and you'll go 12's. Done.

A converter and drag radials is the surest way to get there. There was a member on here with a stock stall car with every bolt on and some weight reduction that cracked high 12s though.

This winter I plan on doing some trany work, install a cold air intake, roller rockers, and tires. What should I after that? cam? heads? My brother has a 1983 camaro with about 525 horse power and his Lakewood traction action lift bars work great on his car.

If all you want is 12s, all that stuff will defintely get you there, the converter, tires and roller rockers are all you need.

Right now my goal is to get into the high 12's. I will do more work later when I can afford it. After talking to my brother he did bend the brackets on his Lakewood traction action lift bars. After he reinforced them he hasn't had any problems
