Default MODS....whats next???

Ok guys....
current mods of note:

Power Effects cat-back
3.73 Gears (Dana 36)
Vigilante 2600 Torque Converter
K&N Filter/cut lid
throttle body bypass

Made 6 runs....

60' 1/8 mile ET MPH

1.85 8.54 13.40 101.109 (powerbrake)
1.82 8.50 13.35 101.375 (stabbed the throttle)
Both of the above runs were with BFG drag radials @ 26 psi in the right lane


1.82 8.53 13.39 100.91 (powerBraked)
1.85 8.53 13.38 101.34 (stabbed the throttle)
Both runs were made @ 23 psi (down 3 psi)..in the right lane

1.81 8.50 13.36 101.67 (stabbed throttle)
1.82 8.55 13.44 100.28

Ok.. consistancy is there..track was slow for EVERYBODY!

My question.... WHATS NEXT.

Headers??
Head/intake work..???

Im looking for ET improvement without going INSIDE the motor.
Best BANG for the BUCK??

I truly believe another 10th or 2 can come off on a good track. Runs were made WITH spare tire..less than 1/2 tank gas (no additives)..and a fat man driving!! Cheapest MOD is to go on a Diet, but lets NOT discuss that at this time.


:nono:


include prices of mods if possible plz

Not sure how well you define "going into the motor" but in order of priority, I would do cam, 1.6 rockers, heads, headers.

You've already got gears (your best bang for the buck) and of course, there's always NOS if you fee so inclined.
