Default Want to go deeper in the 12's

OK, so I have the blower and the Mickey Thompson tires. Is there anything else I can do to go faster down the strip? Would changing out my stock 3.31 gears for 4.10 improve my ET?

Watch out getting the 4.10, since u're already supercharged that may cause extreme wheel spin from a dig, so unless u have real sticky tires (Drag radials) i wouldn't go with the 4.10´s, if u do have great tires go ahead !
Maybe an aftermarket driveshaft too ? Torque Converter? LCA's to hook up?

Keep the stock gears, it's been said that a carbonfiber drive shaft canshave 0.2sec off your 1/4, a torque converter about half a second (I know of someone who went from 13.1 to 12.7 with only a converter) also get some suspension mods LCAs, UCA.

IMO stay away from 4.10, others will disagree, I have 3.73 and I am thinking of going 3.55 with my set up.

You can definately add some suspension mods if you don't have any as stated above. You could go with a smaller pulley and 4.10 gears if you don't mind not having much of a first gear daily driving. You have MT cheater slicks i'm going to assume so they should be able to handle more powergiving you traction.

You should have a line lock kit for doing your burnouts already I hope, that will definately help you out on your launch so make sure your heating those bad boys up good.

If you want more power just up your dam boost and drop in a smaller pulley. Come on man you have a blower, you don't need any more supporting mods other than suspension work and maybe gears!
