Getting into the 10's with a naturally aspirated m6 will be a challenge. I just barely broke into the 10's with around 600rwhp, all that suspension plus more and 17" welds.

With some weight reductions and 17" slicks you can get there, it's going to be harder to do on drag radials with a M6, I'm not saying it can't be done on a drag radial, just harder.

I think you will need 4.10's if you are serious about those times and be able to cut atleast a 1.6 60ft

You can cut 1.6's with 3.91's on stock tires with your suspension and rear end mods.

Invest in a line lock, axles and do a 15" conversion. With that and skinny a up front you should be able to drop another .2 off your time with proper shifts.

I've not tried a 2 step yet but I'm seriously considering adding one.

If you are going to Run 17" Welds, you will need Lower Control Arms, Trailing Arms & Toe Rods that clear
