Default How much improvement on the strip with current power?

So I don't really see myself doing anything to add power this year. I may throw in some new COP's and a set of plugs, but that shouldn't really up the levels. I do plan on getting a set of big n' littles with MT 275/60-15's out back. I'll also be looking into relocating the battery to the trunk, running a UPR tubular front suspension with coilovers (probably switching from strange 10-ways to lakewood 90/10's) and doing the UPR coilover kit for the strange 10-ways out back. My current best has been a 13.001@104.56 with a 1.759 60'. How much improvement do you guys think I can get off of these mods?

Uneducated guess: You'll shave 0.3 from your current time.

big-n-littles will be worth about a tenth and 1-2 tenths for the weight savings. All in all you should be around 12.7-12.8 after those mods. Save your money on the lakewoods.....the strange 10-ways are better and work with the UPR coilover kit.

Your 60' was already pretty decent. 104+ trap and 13.0 ET...
Same conditions as the 13.0 run, I'd guess around 12.75 is probable.
GOOD LUCK!!!

I doubt it. I'm building this car for a street/strip machine, so comfort wasn't really in mind, but if you like a nice quiet ride, the UCA/LCA combination that I have and the ARB really isn't for you. On another note, I got a ton of unexpected cash today and order the K-member kit, bumpsteer, CC plates, and rear coilovers, so let the fun begin.
