I don't know what to tell you...I have a 93 with long tubes, 3:73 gears, 3200 stall converter, a Dana 44 and drag radials...I have not been able to get this car under 13.18 yet and that was in cold weather up in Richmond, Va. last Feb...this year I will surpass 1000 runs at the drag strip spread over the last 5 years so I think the driver is OK...
Before I upped the converter stall from 2400 my best was 13.41...maybe I just have one of them turds..lol

IMHO something is wrong with your car. When mine was bone stock, except for a 3.54 gear, I ran a 13.17 on mich. street tires at MIR, Added a 3000 stall conv. and ran a 12.91, again on street tires.
On a good day, (DA) you should be able to run a low to mid 12, with the drag radials and long tube headers.

Explain to us all why exactly you would want an AFPR on a car with a flashable PCM that has an injector constant that can be adjusted to suit injector size? Turning up the fuel pressure DOES NOT make the car more powerful and certainly wont make it move quicker. Waste of money is what it is, he only wants to get into 12s, adjusting fuel pressure is totally unrequired and will just complicate the tuning.

Do you want to go 12s and track it consistently or do you just want to have a 12 second Corvette with mostly street driving ?
street= 3.75 gear in your Dana 36
Quality 9.5 2800 stall converter
A good tune
Drag radials
If you want to track it a dana 44 conversion would be wise.

"I take it you have never driven a car on N2O?? It is addictive."
Truth is,,, no, I have not. Got a friend with a (4,000lb) '67 cutlass on spray that runs in the low 12's.....seems like cheating to me though
But I fear (as Comp says) it would be too additive!
My current problem is whether or not to buy nitto's and blow my 44 hooking

Just out of curiosity, do you have any legit reason why you don't like nitrous? I can understand the personal preference, but you seem to dislike N20 to such an extent that you must have a valid technical reason for not using the spray.

The over 50 croud here may understand me.
NOX is exciting, for sure. Don't get me wrong! Some day I may actually try it!
But for now? As I said earlier....my personal challenge is to 'do it' NA.

those are some fast lt1 times... 13.1? you would need much from there..lol.. a stall and a tune will really wake it up alot.. gears are never a bad move. but i wouldn't really waste too much money on a d36 myself.
to the old school guy about nitrous.. get real. you are pissing in the wind with that whole cheating nonsense.. noone asked what you thought of nitrous.. they asked what would net the results they want. try giving useful info instead of enlightening us of your ignorance of about a product you have never used.. and for the record nitrous has been around racing longer than you think. if you are really trying to keep it real with the old school what the hell you doing on a computer?
