Re: 1/4 mile times

Im running low 16's with mine but ive done a little work to it. Id like to get to mid 15's if I can. So far ive done plug wires, header, downpipe, high flow cat, custom exhuast, 4 inch muffler, ground kit, plugs, short ram intake, short shifter. I just ordered upper and lower engine mounts but cant put them on till the end of the year cause im sitting in Iraq right now till december. What else should I do to get my time down except new tires. Im running wal-mart tires as of know. Thanks for your help

Try a larger bored TB, motor mounts will help you, if you wish to keep the car N/A... start playing with your internals... Time to Cam your car bro! Or a nice shot of giggle juice will do nicely!

Re: 1/4 mile times

I have some motor mounts waiting for me at my house. And ive been leaning toward getting a new throttle body. How hard is it to install cams. Ive never done it before and really wouldnt know where to start

Re: 1/4 mile times

hmm.... for about 2000 USD and alot of knowledge of what you were doing and also mechanically inclined, you could have a 15 sec car. You can easily piece together a good turbo setup for that price and then some.
