Dude, update your sig already. "I've got the mods in my sig. And my times in the 1/8..." So I offer everything I can, and today I lookup your car in the user's rides and find out that you've already got most everything I mentioned or have it in your future plans. You're showing 269RWHP/297ft torque and a 99GT claims 260 and 280. The numbers are close enough that the 2 cars should be pretty competitive. Especially if you're not getting the hook. Another way to improve your quickness would be to dump the stereo out of the trunk. I finally had to ditch mine. I don't think anybody ever realizes how much all that stuff ways. All my junk weighed 82#. I had no idea. Haven't run it since I took it out. I only took it out for the cage install. Course I'll still be +40-50# once that's done.

Weld in subframe connectors and aftermarket control arms would be a good next mod for ya. When you jump on it and the left front corner raises and the as#end dances sideways, that takes power that could be going to the tires. I've got both. Put them on at different times and each made a significant difference in how the car takes off from the line and from the slow roll.

Happy motoring
