Well, with better traction you should be hitting 9.5s. I'd say get the posi first, I dunno how you can live without it. The runners would probably drop you aroudn .2 and you've already got a ported plenum, so possibly more, but this is only the 1/8. You'd see more gains in the 1/4.

Basically, all those mods would put you near your goal, but not anywhere past it. I can't think of anything else right now, but maybe later. GL though

Yeah, if you're doing the work anyway 3.42's sound good. What kinda tires you got? What kinda money you lookin to spend?
