Get a good exhaust, off-road X-pipe and rid yourself of TQ managment. ;)
The TC next and then gears if you need.
TCs are great but for anything from a roll you need more HP not more 60' ;)

Re: New Best At The Track (F8LPONY)
If i go with just the 3.42's will it get me into the 12's on the Kumho's or do I need TC and gears and then tires? How about the possibility of seeing 12's with the 2.73's with a cat back system? I really like the idea of 12's on a regular street tire!

Congrats. I've been watching folks post these #s for quite some time, but until I got my own rear side out to the track a few weeks ago, I had no idea how the many variables can affect them. Here's to you --> :cheers: :cheers:
Pretty addicting, though, isn't it? :eek:

Nice effort...:D If your serious about getting into the 12's..your going to need a helmet and most probably a rollbar with a vert. :yesnod:
Otherwise get a set of Drag Radials, 3.42 gears, 2800 + stall T/C and install a Transgo shift kit and have some real fun !!

12s are possible without the TC and gears (check my sig) but you need to free up the exhaust and get rid of TQ managment. I couldn't get better than 12.90s on street tires though. Run Flats suck!
If you got the money do liekthey stated above, gears and TC but also do my options as those will help you gain HP, a TC gives you next to nothing on the freeway, I don't care what your ET is. For those in doubt, go race a 6-spd on the freeway ;)

Re: New Best At The Track (gatorblue01c5)
The 3.42s will put you in the 12s. You will have to get you rev limit reset to 62-6400 rpm and your shift points set 2-300rpm less than your rev limit set. :thumbs: :iagree:
