New Best

I went down to BMP Thurs. night for TnT, and I must say I'm pretty happy with the results. I ran a new best of 13.573@102.95 which is 3 tenths and 1 mph better than my stock times.

I'd say that's pretty good for $350, huh?

Now it's time to decide whether or not to go on modding my car, or keep saving for the 2 wheeled fun I've been dreaming of.

congrats! def these ls1 motors respond well to cheaper mods! a cutout would also help you a lot over the flowmaster muffer no doubt. great sound, bad flow. keep up with teh cheaper easier mods to get yourself closer to the 12.9 mark!

No!!!!!!

500 for a brand new dry kit---
650 for a killer TNT wet kit.

You'll need traction though, and congrats on the new best. I hope to post a new best someday too...

Good Job. But you need to get the exhaust opened up then you should hit 13.3 to 13.0. A converter will put you in the 12s solid.

Thanks guys. I was considering buying a crotch rocket, but I'm leaning towards putting more money into the car. I was considering headers and y-pipe, probably a cutout at the same time, and then probably drag radials. Time will tell...

Your times are just like mine were with just lid/exhaust. I was running 13.5 @ 102 all day long, regardless of how I drove it..
Biggest gain was with the converter. Cut my 60's from 2.0-2.1 to 1.72s (and still falling). Only downside is, it eats gas revving to 2500-3000rpm in city driving. Next big gain was headers y-pipe w/ cats.. traps went from 102 to 108.. picked off a couple tenths there as well.
