Default Bench Racing- What mod should be next on my list

Guys,

I respect your opinion. Here is what is done so far

4.10s & eaton posi
CPT Level 2 with Vigilante 3000 Stall
3.5 inch Dennys Driveshaft.
Coated Try-y's and 2.5 exhaust
throttle body bypass.
MSD Coil
Bilsteins and intrax springs
pcmperformance tune to match mods



Walbro 255 lph to go in to the car soon.
I need to rebuild the opti because car surges sometimes
and I have a bad leak from the front.

With problems solved where would you guess my car is at time and top speed wise

Question

What is your final goal? Street/strip performance? Strip only? Dyno #'s?

Just a fun street/strip driver. Just a bolt on car for now as its my daily driver even in the snow.

I haven't had the car dynoed. I would like more of a guess of my power level hence the bench racing comment.

The only thing you have done for more power is exhaust & a tune so if stock is 260hp you could be +20 to that. With 4.10's I would guess top speed might be 140???

What do you think I should do next? Obviously motor mods. What would be the best bang for the buck at this point?

I'm thinking Cold Air Intake and maybe roller rockers with beehive springs and LT4 knock control module to go with the rockers.

First get engine to run correctly! Get a new MSD cap and rotor, then do springs and 1.6 rockers.

When you do those you MIGHT get stock plus 10 - 15 HP. The rockers help these motors to rev alittle higher by helping the motor flow more air across the band (.421/.431 @ 1.5 to .450/.460)

I think I got ~.15 second in 1/8 on two Stock LT1's with just rockers. Good seat of pants improvement and won't hurt DD.

They used to sell a cheap set of 1.6 roller tips for $65 that is what I bought with some cheap drop in springs...

Do you have a brand name or link on the rollers and springs

You may have not added HP, but those 4.10's and converter will def help your 1/4 times.

The only true HP adder will now be heads and cam.
