I'd go with a Intake manifold, bigger TB, Better heads. Vortech.
P.S. Great pass time, thumbs up.

Thanks for the input, anyone else have any ideas?

You can buy a good set of heads, a better cam (any specs on your cam??), cutout, weight reduction, fast intake and throttle body, 90mm, 92mm, or 100mm, your choice. I think they make all those sizes now. What tires you using?

With suspension work, cam only cars with bolt-ons can make it in the 11s easy.

Then there is always the posibility of nitrous, s/c, or turbo.

Usually people wait to add an aftermarket "FAST" intake until they do heads. You will still see gains, typically like 15-25rwhp with the setup you have. The gains are much higher after you get a good set of heads or are using forced induction like a supercharger or a turbo.

A tire I use is a Nitto 555 R, they are great for a bolt-on car or cam only car. I use a 315mm wide Nitto 555 R. They do great on the street, last longer than most drag radials and are some what driveable in the rain.

There are a lot of popular tires out there to use, and you can find traction with these, but obviously a slick or M/T drag radial might be better, they are a bit better traction wise but don't last very long. The BFG drag radial is about the same way, but they last like 3-5k miles if you are lucky.

You have to let us know what you intend to use the car for. Daily driver, street warrior, weekend warrior, or all drag strip?

Oh, i hope your tranny, clutch, and rear end can handle more power and stickier tires. If not, save up extra money for when they break...mod away man!

Thanks.

There are plenty of choices for heads out there and i don't know much about heads, but they can add quite a bit of hp if matched correctly with your cam. Add that "FAST" intake/tb combo and you can touch upper 400rwhp.
