what kind of supercharger do you have exactly?? a powerpipe is good for more boost i believe.. cams will give you more power without adding much stress on the engine. long tubes are a hassle but will bump up your boost a little bit..

where from NJ are you from?

If you want bolt ons get headers and a mid pipe. Relatively cheap but the Lts are kind of a pain to install.

If you want to get into the 10-11s, you are going to have to do suspension mods, build your rear end and get DRs or slicks. Slicks alone would put in the mid to high 12s.

yeah its the first time at the track last year,i thought it wasnt that bad but then started reading what other people were saying and its not good. Best time i had was 13.207 @ 108.28 and rt time was .242. I know i could do better in the rt time but still wouldnt be under 13 sec.

If you have that kit I'm guessing you have a 3.6" pulley on the head unit now. It might say the pulley diameter on it so you can make sure. You could maybe put a 3.33" pulley with ideally a new tune to get a couple more #'s of boost.

to get to a 10 second car be prepared to spend alot of dough. But all suggestions noted above will help.

It sounds like you need to forge it, add lts, mid-pipe, stickies, suspension, and more boost.
