Default How should I get into the 10s?

Nitrous?
4.10s?
After market heads?
8 rib conversion kit and smaller s/cer pulley?

Heres a video of me at the track on sunday.

what's your budget? I would hold off on nitrous. I wouldn't go to 4.10's if you have this car on the street either unless you have a 6 speed trans. If you had the money heads with the smaller pulley and 8rib. Most likely the heads are gonna free some airflow reducing a little boost pressure.

What kind of suspension set up are you running. your 60ft is pretty good for the power. Maybe a rear coilover conversion?

Lose some weight up front maybe?

Why not go with the 4.10s? Thats pretty much a giving that I'll drop a couple tenths off my trap time and they will bring me up into the higher rpm range when I'm in 4th crossing the finish line.
Suspension is metco LCAs and adjustable UCA, BMR adjustable panyard bar, sway bar relocation brackets, ebiach pro-kit lowering springs.
My budget has already been pushed to the limit to get to this point, and thats why I'm leaning towards 4.10s
What could I drop from the front to lose weight other then front sway bar delete?

Tubular K member and A arms takes off about 34lbs.

Removing sway bar and adding tubular rad support removes about 26.


4.10's would be worth it if you have enough rpm left in 4th. You would be probably be between 11.1-11.2.

What rpm are you at when you trap

A little below 6k, thats why I want to do 4.10s. I'm thinking if I can get to 4th quicker and trap at 6500k+ rpms I could be in the 10s. I mean I'm pushing 570+ rwhp with race gas, but thats at 6500k rpms.

What about an f1? If you are running a p1 I'd say upgrade blowers?

Im running vortech not procharger. If I want to upgrade to a better vortech blower it would be a t-trim.

I'm not sure I can really get better then the 11.28s and 11.9s that I've been running. I'm not trying to say I'm a master at the track but every time I feel that I get a great run its right around there. I mean 1.47 and 1.49 60 fts aren't bad at all.

I missed that somehow. I guess I thought every centri is a procharger in a subconsious level.. Well then, you have probably hit the cieling with your setup. Your 60' is awesome so I know you can drive...
