Ok, so after 3 seasons of building up the foundation of this 87 GN, it's time for me to start planning for a big (to me) step up in the Spring. Car looks great and is a comfortable cruiser so I don't want to turn it into a full blown race car at this time. Just want something a little more badazz on the street and capable of low-to-mid 11's all day long rather than just 1 fluke pass. Actually, maybe I should be more specific and say E.T. as low as possible (10.9x ???) before dipping into the motor with heads, cam, pistons, rods, etc. Is that even possible?
Full mods are in my signature for suspension, tires, etc. Transmission and Converter will be addressed prior to any jump in performance.
At a high-level, current performance mods are:
TA-49 Turbo, AlkyControl Meth Kit, CAS V4S SLIC, TR Custom Big Mouth Cold Air Intake, QTP 3" Electric Cutout, Billet Inlet Bell, FabWorx 3" TH style SS Downpipe, 3" SS Test Pipe w/Dump, Pypes Catback, Hallman Boost Controller, Updated TurboTweak Alky Chip, Eaton Posi, 42# Injectors, Fuel Pump, Hot Wire, Racetronix AFPR, Injector Harness, RJC Plate, Valve Springs, 160 Thermo, Scanmaster.
Been doing a lot of research here and it seems the next leap up could be something like the following:
TE60 or 6262 Turbo, Pulleys, Dual Fans, Front Mount, 60# Injectors, maybe headers, bigger Plenum/TB/Power Plate, LT1 MAF or Translator.
Am I on the right track or is there something bigger/better I should be targeting?
