If you can explain all the mods that you have and exactly what you are running maybe the guru's could help some more. one thing for sure that would help you and I think you dont have is a custom tune. Other than that list what you got.

How about a stall for that Vortech? Do you have a dyno tune? That would help. After that some sticky tires.

Shift Kit, Cam(all the accessories with that like springs and pushrods... www.thunderracing.com), Torque Converter, custom tune after that.. that should keep your wallet busy for close to $1200 or so if you do it all yourself... Maybe Almost $2000 if you get it all done. This is all depending on brands and if the items are used or new.

I think you would benefit from a stall converter. Probably something like a Yank TT3000 would do the trick. Dont forget a good tranny cooler as well. Also you might try to find a Gtech to use just to see what you are running in the quarter now.

i recall reading a few weeks back about the non intercooled vortech. somebody mentioned they either knew somebody who had one, or they had one theirself. anyways, the were recieving very minimal results from the non-intercooled vortech. maybe think about fabbing up an intercooler for that s/c of yours.

I would for sure get some long tubes, I think it would let that beast breath much better, you are running more than average boost I think that would open it up a little more. A stall would be awesome as well I personally liked my TCI 3000. Oh and remember once you get that stall in and with your blower you are going to be hurting that tranny. But I would start there with some tubes.

nitrous. 300-500 bucks, depending on the bells and whistles.. and you could run 12's or better, just gotta get traction and tuning.
