Jason, I don't remember your mods that you've already done, but here's what
I would do:
180 stat
Leach headers - air needs to get out easier if you're playin w/the manifold
and TB
Modded Intake
Ported TB
Ram air of some sort
electric fans
shift kit
higher stall (2400 rpm)(Fairbanks, or??) torque convertor
slicks/drag radials
I would think high 13's would be a breeze with these mods....especially
since I think Alan S. in TX dropped a sec from 15.1 to 14.2 with the fans,
headers, and TB.....
