What mods after heads/cam?

I want to work off what I already have. I also want to stay NA!
A full list of mods are on my webpage in the sig.
I got a dyno tune a two months ago and got 392 rwhp/ 415 rwtq
and a 1.76 60',12.2 @ 110mph in Oklahoma on Nitto drag radials.
I'm looking to get one 11.99 out of it in street trim.
Sooo, what suggestions on what to do next?

EDIT: I threw the 60' time in there

You could get a better gear...might be enough to put you into the 11's...I forgot to check do you have DR's...

EDIT: looked again...yeah gear and a cheap set of OE wheels with those new MTs..

I'd say some 3.73's would be an easy/cheap way to gain a tenth and a mph or so.

Re: What mods after heads/cam?

I was thinking about gears, but if I did that I'd just go ahead and get the 12 bolt. I just don't think I really need one. It's a big decision so I'm going to hold off on that one. Anything else?
I do have DR's and got a 1.76 60'. I have to launch at idle though; to half throttle rolling to full throttle.

Get a new 52 or 58mm tb. An engine with that kinda power needs to breath more.

Re: What mods after heads/cam?

gears were my first thought...

i was gonna say traction mods but since you'repulling a good short time...maybe not.
but some reloacation brackets and things like that may allow you to launch harder.

second thoughts were TB and electric water pump

if you can drop 100lbs or so you'd be that much closer

Re: What mods after heads/cam?

electric water pump! that's a great idea. I think I'll try that out. Relocation brackets are also a good idea. I forgot about those. Thanks for the help to everyone, great ideas. Except you Nick! :P

I would love to shed a few pounds off too, but I don't want to lose power steering or AC. I was thinking about a tubular K member. My car weighs 3420 now, so it is already on the light side.
Any more ideas?

Yep a great idea, but maybe a little overkill for an 11.99!
