I have to agree with jlawrence as well.
It totally makes sense to try just throwing on the suspension mods and see if that alone gets you a better 60 foot time. If it does, you'll be in the 13s with that alone. Or just do the headers and give it a shot and see what that does. Otherwise, if going to the strip is just a once in a while thing due to whatever reason, I could see why you'd want to throw multiple mods at it and see what you can get out of it since you may not have many chances to do it. In that case I don't think you should be afraid to get drag radials. In fact, if it were me, I'd not hesitate all to follow RtCat600man's lead and go with the 18" corvette replica rims for the rear and throw some tires on that (I forget what he is using) and use them strictly for the strip. But if you really want a track (turns!) setup, well then buying four rims/tires for the track, and two rims/tires for the strip will get expensive fast. You may not want to do that. In this case, if you really want your car setup for the track, skip the rear drag setup and get yourself some lightweight rims and good track tires. Do the suspension mods to help you get off the line quicker at the strip and go at it! As for the tune...my vote goes to IPF, simply b/c I feel they know the Bosch ECM better. Is it worth it? I can't say 100% for sure yet. Trifecta can be much cheaper, but that doesn't mean its worth it either if it doesn't do anything for you performance wise.

you may hate this...but you could always save some and de-mod and buy a used SS or something.
or why not go with the supercharged/turbo route? you can also think about the pulley mod, upgrade the converter. I think changing the tune would show no change... idk thats all haha |

Quick question, would a better rear sway help at the track?

Again, I'm pretty clueless when it comes to you guys' IRS, but if you're talking front sway bars like our sway bars I'm going to say no. Not only have better sways never shown to be a benefit on our 10-sec F/I cars nor our mid 12 sec N/A cars, I've actually heard if some guys removing them all together at the track.

So if I'm gathering everyone's responses correctly, a good plan of action would be.
1. Install suspension 2. Install headers 3. Get Drag Radials 4. Address anything else that is needed. |

The short version is simple. I honestly have absolutely no faith in this engine anymore. You can pm me for the long version if you'd like. Don't want to really make it a focal point of the thread.
