which free mods???

Advance timing to 12, 14 maybe 16 degrees, initial.
Use 92 or higher octane gas.

(Could be worth a tenth off the et).

Bring ice bags and cool down the intake between rounds.

(Could be worth at least a tenth off the et).

Inflate the front tires to 45 pounds each (deflate to normal before leaving the track)!

Take any unnecessary junk out of the trunk before racing or better yet, before you leave home.

Change the oil/filter right before going to the track.

These few things could get you to at least a 15.0, maybe a 14.9.


how much would 3.55's help my time b/c i was think about getting them next along with subframe connectors?

Get the subframe connectors (big rewards in traction and handling) and the 3.55's.
Those, alone, would have you well in the 14's.

Consider a PRO 5 0 shifter, too. Faster shifts and it lessens mis-shifts that can do real damage.
