rip out the a/c put an upgraded clutch n fidanza aluminum flywheel and ull dip low 15 or high 14 or maybe get a bigger than the stock lsj exhaust.
i ran 15.7 with just removal of a/c and with a few EXTRA 100s of lbs in the car

i live in TX, i need the A/C, so thats out the question, the flywheel will cost more to install, and if i go fylwheel ima need a new clutch, so i can do them at the same time, or elseima p[ay to have the tranny dropped once fore the wheel, than again later for the clutch

hey man with your ebay intake and the dryflow, are you getting a check engine light? cause i have the "j-spec" or ebay intake also and i was thinking about the dryflow filter cause it claims no mass air flow sensor problems....

i've thought about cams, and am gunnaget them, but not now, i want all the small mods first, and baout the CA heade, gimme some pics, i get pay'd this friday, so i might get it for the right price 
, and im not getting a code fromt he intake, i have the light on right now, but its the p0300, misfiring, not intake related, also i dont wanna snap my axels on some DR's, i could get some if i wanted too, but too muh traction is as bad as not enough, and spray is a big mod, i want all the basic bolt ons, just seing if anybody knew of some i missed

yeah i saw someone offered me a CA header, i went ot cobalt addiction site, look nice, i send the guy a PM on it, see if he his price is resonable i will get that from him, also, i love the catback, no need to a aftermarket one, the dp either, the only real thing is the header, and i have a cold air intake

hmm what about in jectors and or ignition. those should net you a few hp here and there. what do you have for tuning?hmm underdrive pulleys. try an exhaust cutout at the header, if your good with metalwork make yourself a rear shock absorber delete. it used to be a common mod for alot of fwd guys with big power. they measure the rear shock with the car sitting level on the ground. then make a solid bar that bolts in the shocks place in the rear end one for each side. when at the track they swap the shocks for the rods and when you launch you dont squat and lose traction. pm me if you want i can find a few writeups on it

watch out for the lightweight crank pulleys though, theres more to them than most people think. they have rubber inserts called harmonic dampeners that balance out key vibrations in the motor. You have to loctite everything on a harley to keep it from vibrating itself apart, same principal, with the extra vibrations you risk breaking things apart. if you get the pulley, you need to get the balancers that are in the GM build book too. I'd rather be safe and pay the extra than be sorry when the motor vibrates itself to pieces.
I have the ebay CAI too, I've gotten no problems with it thus far.
