I need neck spaping speed!
How can I achieve 0-100 Mph best times without spending a fortune? Im thinking a rear end gear change? I want neck snaping acceleration! Damn the top speed! I dont think I will be doing 160 plus anytime soon anyway.

Uhh...what kinda car do you have? There's many ways, but if you don't want to spend a FORTUNE...NAAAAWWWSS :D :lurk:
EDIT: From looking at your profile, I'm guessing you have a 92 LT1 Auto...here's a good start
1.) 3.73 Rear Gears
2.) 3000rpm stall torque converter
3.) True Dual 2½" Exhaust with good flowing mufflers
With those mods, that should put you pretty good 0-100. (In less than 1340' feet!)

His profile sez he has a '92. I vote for 3.73 gears as his best 1st mod to do, followed by a 100 shot of NOS. Thats if he has an automatic. If he has a 6-speed, then 4.10 gears followed by the 100 shot.
That ought to bring the full throttle g-forces up to snuff, no? :yesnod:

Re: I need neck spaping speed! (C4DC)
i think the gears would greatly benfit but i'd do a torque converter first.depends on ur expensise and what u want.3.73's cool,but i'd do a converter swap first.

Re: I need neck spaping speed! (sebvette)
the rear end will definatly help u get what you are looking for but im gonna have to throw my 2 cents worth in and vote for a complete exhaust system with headers that will free up some major ponies!
