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....

oh sorry i saw LSJ header and thought LSJ head..i was thinking how is that not a major mod haha...

insted of dealling with the LSJ/Le5 header/catback/downpipe just go right toa ftermarket..spend a few more bucks but will gain u more horsepower..also weight reduction is free..and if ur at the track keep a bag of ice or something near ur intake if its SRI...

big bore TB, header and DP... really the lsj exhaust isn't doing as much for you as it could.. there's a reason so maybe people are buying aftermarket things

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

yep a lightweight aluminum from someone for about $550 or the one from GM

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.

Get rid of the LSJ stuff and get some aftermarket stuff, i think gains will be better.
