Drop 1/4 time need help?

Hi everyone this is my first post. I was hoping someone could help.I have a 86 vette with cast iron heads its completely stock as far as i know, except for the catalytic converter is hollow. I just had a jasper remanufactured engine and transmission installed and,I am looking to drop a 1 second off my 1/4 time without effecting the warranty I have a limited budget now so in the cheapest possible manner. Any help would be great, Thankyou all Ron :confused:

if you have an automatic you can get a higher stall converter. or you can change your gear ratio

Click into my webpage within my signature and then into the "Proven Set-ups" section.... there are 2 vettes listed in the section of interest to you, Steven N's vette and Vic G's vette..... both did mild and inexpensive modifications, however they were very effective modifications that have turned their stock motors into competitors with virtually any make and model stock Corvette.

good luck
