#4593, "RE: trap speeds and quarter mile times" In response to In response to 5
That loss in time but higher speed could be a drop in low end torque (due to TB and no supporting mods). Definately go after a header, a port and polish of the intake wouldn't hurt (nor would a pocket port on the head). The Stratus gears may help a little, but a stall will help a lot more by getting the revs higher at the line. You've shifted the powerband higher into the RPM, now you need to reach that RPM sooner. You may also consider some polyurethane motor mounts to try to lower your reaction time some, it helps more on a manual than ours but I noticed a difference anyways. The TQ Reduction Mod is helpful. Im not sure exactly how much it helps, but I like how it feels. I hope this helps some, good luck.
