i felt more power from my cams than i did from the long tubes hard to say since you have a poweradder.

 

I am leaning towards longtubes and gears

 

What gears do you have now? Gears will help alot on a Centrifugal...helps get the car in the powerband faster! Longtubes are nice...and unless you get some fancy expensive ones, anytime you need to pull the tranny they will have to come off. Which usually means pulling the K. Cams will make a big difference as well...but it all comes down to air in...air out. If your running stock manifolds then I'd say it's time to upgrade to something better. There are guys in the 10's with a Vortech V2 with the Ford Racing shorty headers...which are also the ones I have on my car. Can't really go wrong with either mod you decide...just depends on how much you wanna spend?

 

BTW....nice looking setup! I bet keeping all that polished stuff clean is a bear!

 

ya its a pita... but I currently have the stock 3.27's still in the car

 

i have mac lt's and its not that bad to pull tranny out with them in the car. You will learn a method of it if you do. and maybe its just me but i have been threw all the gears so far and the best ones i have had it the 3.27s with the t 45 and 3.55's with the 3650 trans for some reason my car does not like any other gears for some dumb reason.

 

if you are still rockin 3.27's gears IMHO have to be next.
There is no other "bolt-on" that makes more difference than gears.

Id also do LT's before i did cams...
and installing them really isnt that bad, ive done it a few times now and can have it done in 6hrs with one person helping.
at your power level all the exhaust mod gains will be exponential...

between gears and LT's it will feel like a new beast

 

I hope so, should pull a hell of a lot harder. Im also going to jump from 2.5" to 3" intercooler piping since the outlet on my blower is 3"

 

anyone else?

 

I would go with gears for sure. I have 4.10's in mine and couldn't be happier.

 

What mph do you trap and what size tire?

 

Longtubes did nothing for me -neither on the dragstrip nor on the dyno. Along with the LTs and midpipe, I paid for jet hot coatings and a tubular k-member. So I ended up spending about $1500 for zero gain.

With blower cams, I spent $400 + install and gained about 40 rwhp and 3-4 mph on dragstrip.

If you are a drag racer, your gears (in conjunction w/ your tire height) should be chosen such that you cross the traps just under the rev limiter in 4th gear.

 

I cant believe you saw absolutely no gains from the headers thats crazy, especially since your car has a power adder.

 

I'm leaning towards 4.10's

 

4:10's with a 26" tire will put you at 113mph at 6000rpm's and 122 at 6500rpm's. So depending on how fast you run the quarter 4:10's might be just right...or too tall. 3.73's are another good choice.

 

I will have 28" tall tires for the track, I'm really debating on blower cams

 

Methanol is another option

 

If you have 28" tires then I'd go with the 4:10's for sure! I'd also throw on a set of Ford Racing shorties and Cams and call it a day

 

Start with gears then work your way to the front of the car.. Go ahead and upgrade to 31 or 35 splines then do you long tubes with your K-member install, then last but not least do the cams.

 

Ya I'm thinking I should hold off on cams and do methanol, headers, and gears and then see how the car runs. Methanol will only make it safer
