yeah eventually but the guy at GNJ that put them in said i need some sub frames before i use the 100 shot with the 4.10's or pretty soon I would pinch my doors shut. Then I want to get a bottle heater and a pressure gauge so I can get the most out of the 100 shot. Then I need a shift kit and some pulleys. After this I will be satisfied and go to the track to see what she can do. I might not get the pullies though. Still thinking about it. Everything else is a must for me. Thanks for you interest.

Dude, its pretty much safe to say your doors will _NEVER_ get pinched shut if you take your car to the track with out sub frames. On an SN95 car, sub frames aren't even that big of a deal. You'll be lucky to get a 2.00 60 foot your first time to the track, let alone worrying about bending your frame! LMAO! With that said.... pullies will gain you more ET than any shift kit will and a bottle heater is a great idea.

yeah I hear ya. I just want to be safe besides...my mom is probably going to pay for the subframes anyway. Plus they can only help me not hurt me. The only thing about the pullies is I'm still considering supercharging it so if I get the pullies I'll end up having to get rid of them anyway. I'll probably end up getting them cause the supercharger won't happen for a long time. I'm hoping for a 13.9 my first time with all the new stuff at the track. I got the 4.10's from PonyfiveO for 90 and then GNJ installed them for 300 because I had nothing but the gears. If i had everything that he needed it would have been 200. So I think it was a pretty good deal considering I called in tht morning and he took it that day. Thanks for all the input.

If you work with your combo some more and pay attention to the details, you can run 13.9's with the stock motor and no nitrous. Several locals have done this in an automatic 5.O

Good point sawson. 13.9s with your current setup should not be hard.

I'm ditching the Nos today, I bought some u/d pullies and 25 sparkplugs and I'm gonna set the timing to 14 degrees to see what it can do all motor. Should be on in a couple of hours. I decided to be safe and wait until I can afford a Noszle kit. [patriot]

Didn't get the chance to do it, the guy I have do my work is kind of lazy and he didn't get around to it today and he says tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully I'll be able to let you guys know what's up by about 4 or 5 tomorrow.
