so what's it gonna take for branz to break into the 13's?

As the topic says, i plan on going to gateway this summer and i want to break into the 13's. I plan on bumping up the timeing a little hopeing that'll etch me forward a little towards my goal. Any advice is worth it...btw, lets not bring up NOS or other power adders.

I live in Murphysboro - I have a set of hedmann shorty headers I'll sell you for $15.00 if you want them . . . that would be a good start toward the 13's. You would have to get a y-pipe made or order the hedmann y-pipe for 100.00 (headers w/y-pipe for a little over 100). I had these on an IROC a few years ago with no problem. They are non-AIR (not a problem down here) and have an 02 bung in them. E mail if you want them . . . maybe I'll follow you up to gateway in my formula that I'd like to hit 13's with . . .

for the 15 bucks ya ought to go with the headers! especially if you've gutted the cat, air boxes, and are using k&n's. stock manifolds bite! the edelbrock headers i paid too much for were the most noticable mod i made on my iroc.
