11's
So, I have a decent amount of stuff done to the L. I have 160thermo, chickenears cold air, 4lb lower, steig ported polished blower-plenum-tb, ftvb, breather, bypass, plugs, silver bullit catback, and a pauls high performance tune. I got the launch down really well...but what else can I do to see 11's. More boost? whats safe? should I upgrade to a smaller blower pulley for more boost? I gtecked a 12.26 before, and did a 12.3 at track with slicks, but theres some new guys in town with twin turbo camaros and that, and I hate to get showed up.. Any advise need the best bang for the buck without spraying it

You could try upgraded MAF, 6lb pulley, high flow cats at a minimum (full length headers are not exactly bang for the buck) and a new tune and you might crack the 11's with the right conditions. expensive guaranteed 11's since your seeing 12.3 now, would be cams and headers with supporting mods of a new MAF, fuel pumps and injectors..... good for around 50RWHP, and more with head work. |
Hard to get much faster than that without a "big" mod/s.
|
new tune would prolly be your best bet
|
A 12.3 with a 4lb Pulley is pretty dam good if you asked me
WHAT WAS YOUR MPH, got the Slip handy ? Oh ya, SPRAY IT :rocker: |
yep, keep the 4lb lower and spray a 75-100hp shot (tuned, of course).... that'll get you there
|
A 50 shot might even get you there. If you spray a wet shot you might not need a retune! I would check you A/F numbers though!:) Jim

Largest Stall you can get, should buy you at least three tenths...:rocker: I gained 6 tenths and nearly 3mph with a 3800 in my 70 torinoCJ.:thumbsup:
|
A 50 shot and a stall should get ya there... I'm almost there my mods are listed below.......... Good Luck
PEacE............. Jim |

Seriously, a 2400-2600 stall with a 28" slick will help tremendously. Just get teh suspension dialed in, and do some weight reduction. Without investing $1,000's more, you'll be stuck around the 11.9-12.4 range (depending on track, tune, weather). A good 50HP wet shot will put you in the 11's with slicks. I keep missing it on my Nitto DRs... 12.1 @ 114 is where I'm stuck (75 shot; 12.1 @ 113 with a 50 shot). My n2o hit is VERY rich, leaving a lot on the table, but hopefully keeping the internals together (I run the NX standard jetting with a full blast of 90% methanol injection).:bandito: |
throttle body and upper intake
