New Best

I havent posted here in quite some time but wanted to post my times and get advice or any suggestions on what I should do next on my car. We got the '86 Trans Am last year or so for X-mas and have pretty much invested about 1800 into it. When i first started running the car, it was in the 15's with street tires, then got it into the low 14's with drag radials. Little things were done to it, like spool in rear, tires and mods like that. I rebuilt the distributor, replaced the wires and plugs, basically a tune up. After playing with the timing, got the car in the high 13's, then 13.65 was my best for a while. I wanted to get true duals on this car, so I put Jet-Hot Hedman headers, plumbing and Flowmaster mufflers. After that the new best was 12.93, then the following weekend made it to a 12.83, with a 60 ft of 1.77 and MPH, i think 106. Since we got the car used, I think its a 350 with a mild cam in it. I am thinking at this point of getting a more aggessive cam and an aftermarket torque converter later on.
