mailed my pcm to vettedoctors they set up my gear change and my t/c swap raised shift points and maybe a little more agresive a/f ...fans come on earlier and trans shifts harder

What tire you using for for the 1.8 60'?
How far do you want to go for next mod?
I would think some headers and maybe high flow cats and retune
or
Head/Cam package and a rollbar

using pilot sports......not ready for h/c this year and headers seem to be overrated for the price. Looking for something to put me in the low 12's for this year maybe some et slicks and maybe a 100 shot

Then combine the vararam with some slicks should chop down to close to 12.1 at least.
Those are probably the best/cheapest time mods you can do.
You will drive people crazy telling them you've only got about 315-320RWHP and running those times....

Those are good times for that track 
I have similar mods (except I have headers and 2.73s) and went 12.52@111mph on ET streets at TMP.
With a street tire I have managed a best of 12.69@110mph.
I think headers and a stickier tire will get you in the 12.20s-12.30s with your 3.42 gear and converter.

I've seen many post .3 tenths gain with the vararam over stock filter, not open filter. (I'm about to put mine on also and will track it for myself when I do)
Do you already have a different intake on there?? I didnt' think (based on what your mods were) that you've touched the intake already, guess your intake's not stock then??
I'd bet you still pick .1-.2 tenths over an open filter. Colder/Outside air makes a big difference at speed.

well said....at speed i think 1 tenth is possible but for 300$ us compared to 50 cdn$$ for my k&n i'll save the money for a 100shot and slicks.....
whats your opion on a pulley cost about $200 plus install will in give 2 tenths?
