quarter mile gains/ horsepower, torque gains for different mods
Im trying to figure out what i should spend my money on for performance. I just want bolt ons, no power adders, rebuilds, or no engine swaps (expecially 3.4 swap).
List of possible mods
-pacesetter headers/ y-pipe
-3.42/3.73 gears
-custom plenum/ upper runners
-custom 62mm throttle body
-1.6 ratio roller rockers
-crane cam .427 intake .454 exhaust lift
-supersix motorsports cylinder heads
-asp underdrive crank pulley
-trans go shift kit
-fuel pressure regulator
-17 or 19 pound injectors
-custom computer chip
I wanna kno what each of these mods will take of my quarter mile times and how much hp/tq gain ill get for them. My goal is high 15's. As of now i got a dynomax catback, dynomax cat, custom cai, ignition wires/coil/dist cap, jet 180 t-stat i figure this will have me at high 16's which/ how many of these mods will make me drop a second of my times?

theres way too many variables. some alone do anything, in fact may hurt you (injectors). how much do you have to spend, what do you wanna do first, etc etc.
just do it all and youll probably be there. if you wanna know all this, do a search or give a lot more details. sounds like youve got a fat wallet or big dreams man, lol.

I cant do a swap till im 18 so no 3.4 and no way in hell my parents will let me get nitrous (my dad use to drag race his 73 340 cuda and wont let me get that stuff caz he is afraid im gonna wreck and die, because he almost did) so i can only get like headers and stuff like that

w/ $660, no chance of 15s, unless nitrous. maybe mid 16s, lower if you get the right mods. im only at a 16.1 and ive got a 3.4, headers, catback, ignition stuff, roller rockers, and a few other things. the only thing keeping me out of the 15s right now is traction. those supersix heads are gonna run you more than $660 and thats just heads, not including any gaskets or anything else to make the most out of the heads. better at least double up that amount if you wanna get lower times man.
