Need more powerrrrrr !

[jr2014ss]

Hey guys installed my STainless power headers last month along with my exhaust a tune from ted and a CAI . I have ran 12.5s constant with this set up it I want to break be at around 12.0 in the quarter mile .Excluding tires/drag radials, what mods will help get me into the lower 12s. I have about 1k to play with then I'm saving up for my stingray lol thanks guys (note that this is my everyday car so it must be some what tamed )

I have been told to do the following :
Ud pulley
Cams
Gear ratio
Stall converter
Btw if u didn't notice I'm l99

gears and stall should do you very well in the 1/4 mile

[casper sc/1ss/rs]

Spray is around $700

Okay gears and stall . I wanna get my parts from ted since he will be tuning it for free if I get it from him. I see he has ligenfelter 3.70 gears on his site . Are those good ? Also he as the stall as well . How much do each cost to install if anyone knows?

[jr2014ss]

If I do change my gears or stall will I need anything else ? Any down the road risk like tires etc. sorry I'm new to this trying to learn it

I would look into the circle d 4c converter, it will get you high 11s for sure if not a little quicker in good air. You will need the trans tuned for it. And will prob end up around the 1k mark.

Maybe change the title to this thread.....the good responses are not "more powerrrrrr" hehe....ET is the subject

Do you already have Drag Radials?

If not, that is next.

I light weight Drag race wheel and tire package can be worth several tenths improvement in ET.

After that converter and gearing will be your next best investment for ET.

But without the the right tires can make you go slower due to lack of traction.

The LPE 3.70 gears are made by the same company that make the GM OEM gears

The GM 3.91 gears are around half the price, once you add in the install kit for the 3.70's. Also, shop around. GM 3.91 gears can be had cheap. Install price will depend on who's doing it. All shops are different and charge different prices. I would imagine book time to be around 5-6 hrs. If you estimate $75-100/hr, you're looking at somewhere in the $400-600 range.

A good stall can greatly affect your drag times. None of this will do any good if you're not getting good traction. That means you'll need a sticky tire.

So if I get either gears or converter ongoing to need new street tires ? Cause this is dd

Yes because as you increase power you overwhelm the tires ability to stick to the road and apply the power.

When you break traction your ET will Suffer Greatly.

The Recipe to low ET is:

Power
Traction
Practice
Practice
Practice
Repeat
