????????

The OP asked what else he could do. There are many threads here about quarter mile times, quarter mile racing tips, and straight line performance enhancement.

Must be quite a few of us interested in that. Maybe as many as those obsessed with how their BOV sounds when driving around in their neighborhood.

If increasing handling is the issue, then maybe the OP could consider some slightly wider rims and even more sticky summer performance tires all around.

I like the challenge of getting a fwd car down the track quickly. I don't think I'm alone.

BTW: How is that welded diff working for you on twisty roads?

"Welded diff" in the MSP community is for strength so that it doesn't snap (stocker is known to do so), not actually welding of the spider gears... so, it works fine... just less likely to break.

I'm sorry I was unaware that "run harder and faster" meant strait line only....

Tires and suspension...also, the driver mod. Go take a high performance driving course and you'll learn to enjoy the car a lot more.

Not straight line only. Straight line too. Mounted DOT radials can be swapped for your street rims and tires and most traction bars can be removed or installed very easily and very quickly.

This need not be a debate about which form of competition we might perfer, we can have both in these cars with a little attention to detail.

well if you watch that documentary film called "Fast and Furious" then you will note that at a certain speed, the floor removes itself.

 

[jred321]

don't worry though. it puts itself back in place when you have to pick up your rival after he stashes his car.

It's called a manifold.

[boostednut]

i have guages and a ss
but as for the tune i cant find a place that can tune my car every place just tells me they can only put it on a dyno cuz they dont know how to tune it

 

[coyfish]

you can get a custom tune from COBB AP. Get an AP and they can make a tune for you for like 200 bucks.

You could also do XEDE or CPE

Your running all those mods without a tune . . . I would be careful man.
