How many miles are on the car?You can do any of these upgrades for under $300:1] 1.7 roller rockers2] Get good cold air intake [I prefer an Anderson Ford Power Pipe but its your choice]3] B&M Shift kit4] Moates QuarterMaster chip [then contact <a href="http://www.sn95forums.com/member.php?u=8201" target="_blank">Addermk2</a> for a tune]5] adjustable fuel pressure regulator6] tubular rear control arms7] Eibach drag springsYou can do any of these upgrades for under $500:1] Headers [these can be hadf much cheaper if bought used, but YGWYPF]2] H/X pipe3] Gear swap [go ahead and rebuilt the differential and axle bearings while youre at it]4] upgraded stall convertor5] 90/10 drag struts / 70/30 Drag strutsWhat you can do *before* going to the track1] remove passenger seat, back seat, jack, spare tire, door panels, center console and anything else you can remove2] Borrow [or buy] some skinnies and drag radials3] This is fun.. Find a spot you can peel out and inspect the black marks. WTF? Yes, I'm SERIOUS!!! You wanna see a consistant "patch" that will indicate proper air pressure. Too much air psi will leave a darker in the middle mark and too little psi will be darker on the edges. Without proper traction, this is all pointless.4] remove the "dogbone" from the rear end5] Figure out what RPM you can "brake torque" to without spinning the tires. You want to load the suspension without moving the car at the starting line.Now... The "free" way to go faster at the track:1] perform the vaunted 5 minute tune upa] fuel up with some 93 [no more than a half of a tank] and with a timing light, bump the timing to 12*-14* advanceb] swap out the stock 195* thermostat for a 160* unitc] install a short belt to bypass the a/c, power steering and smog pumps [if its still there]d] disconnect and/or remove the front sway bar for better weight transfer and/or weight savings2] Keep your seat in an upright and other wise straight position. You want the steering wheel to be at your wrists [with your arms extended] and your leg to be bent with it resting on the gas pedal. This is the optimal driving position to control the car,3] contact [MENTION=10730]duff daddy[/MENTION] or <a href="http://www.sn95forums.com/member.php?u=14656" target="_blank">Musturd</a> for more advice beyond this!!!</blockquote>
