Re: How fast can my car possibly be

why a limited slip rear end? You should definately look into a torque converter, it will really wake up your car. With the mods you posted with a 2500-3000 lockup converter along with a good set of heads you will touch high 12's if your lucky

Re: How fast can my car possibly be

a good set of heads 1000, torque converter 500, camshaft 200-300, new gears 100-300 based on if you have a 10 bolt or 9 bolt, hsr 400-500, tires 300 ish, and don't know if your going to tune it yourself or not, if you have someone custom tune it ( which you should do instead of buying an off the shelf chip) will cost anywhere from 200-500 based on where you go.

Re: How fast can my car possibly be

+1 on a stall converter and some drag radials. Then a vote for some suspension mods to put it all to the ground.

Re: How fast can my car possibly be

Stick with the motor. For a mid 13 sec car, I would say the SR is a good idea, rear gears would help, but don't go too crazy, I would stick with 3.42 or so. Grab a set of drag radials, pick up a TQ converter and shift kit, Grab a used catback or something... and definitely grab a cam.
