What all can you do to lose some pounds, and what suspension mods. I am wanting to get it to hook up good and make good times.

gears and eletric water pump. buy the water pump from brenspeed cheaper and comes with relay.
MM&FF did a water pump test. After adding the pump and removing ALL the accessorys from the engine, they only gained somthing like 14 WHP peak.

Not worth the money IMO... all the other accessories obviously took considerable power to turn, so you MIGHT see a 5-8 WHP gain IMO. It is also not really recommended for a street car, as the pump runs the same speed all the time.

I would agree with some of the guys here, Gears and suspension. Make sure your car can take the abuse tie it down, I bought Steeda upper and lower control arms along with lowering springs. Causeby beefing up your suspension u can launch a whole lot better, and your car will handle so much better. Plus my Steeda full length sub frame conneters just came in today. They have to be welded in, then later I can really get on my car with out twisting anything.[sm=shootshoot.gif]

if you are focused on better times right now, go with some meats out back, do some suspension work, and thats about it. maybe rear seat delete if you never use it. that will help. but definatly do the tires and suspension if you want lower e.t.s

+10000000,

Not only that but you have no idea how reliable these things are. IMHO don't fix what works, its not worth it, especially if something goes wrong, then you're really screwed.
