....14s! After installing Zacks control arms my car went from 14.9 to 14.7 and even made one 14.6@95mph run. I don't know what the deal was, but it could have been the weather. It said it was about 52 outside, but when I was running constant 14.9s it had to be around 60. I haven't had a chance to take full advantage of the control arms, but does anyone know if they could make a difference? I heard of people running better with modified suspensions, but that was to trailer cars I mean race cars... not any daily driver.

Also do ya think I can get a 14.2 run after my 4:10 gear goes in if I'm running 14.7 all night long? I wonder if I could break into 13s natural with the underdrive pullys on top of the gear. hmmmmmm :burnout: Any thoughts?

Maybe. 14.7 is the best I have heard from a bone stocker. I ran a 14.02 with 4.10'S, U/D Pulleys, Lidio's tune, JLT CAI and Mac & Zack control arms. (and real good air... ;) )

I'm only 1 or 2 mods away from the 13's. Also remove your driver's side headlamp since the intake is directly behind it and will allow more air flow.

My best is a 14.25 with a JLT, DR tune, GM-COP, 2nd pair of cats removed, flowmaster 40 series and 255/55-18 KDW2 tires at 25psi. Just the cats being removed and the KDW2 tires, they knocked a good .13 of a sec off my previous best run of 14.38.

IMO...You'll need a torque converter, (&, or) long tube headers to solidly get 13's.

Unless you get a freak day of 25* anytime soon.

I went from 14.5 to 14.3 with the addition Of Metco`c and KDW2`S on a cold day.Best part was my 60' time dropped down to 2.113.Im not saying who has the best control arms .I won mine in a raffle.My 80 shot should get me into the 13`s just got to find the time to go.
