I'd have to say that if you're dragging a lot, and looking into the mid 11's, I'd think about a clutch. If you're clutch is lasting and getting the power down (good 0-60 ft times), then maybe a custom tune?

I guess I should read the whole thing before I open my mouth

In that case probably a clutch

Thumbs up

sell the emanange & get the AEM EMS. i would also consider injectors (at least 800cc), fuel rail, fpr, & maybe some drag radials for the track. if you add cams, make sure to get new retainers, lifters, & ARP head bolts for added safety & a rock solid top end. with these items you should hit high 11's but the stock turbo will still run out of steam.

whats wrong with the emanage?

I would consider clutch, custom dynoflash, cams, 10.5 housing, and a header.

appreciate the advice (as opposed to the lecture), i guess i should clarify a bit more, i don't go to the track, i mostly run with my buddies 40-120 the clutch issue is not a big thing for me, i never launch my car, and i mean never, i have 25k miles on the car, i began modding at 10k and have had no issues with clutch, brakes, etc.. i do all my mods myself,

i am holding off on the stand alone for another year, the emanage will do a fine job with the cams etc.. i am not sure about injectors, keep the thoughts coming, all advice is appreciated

go with cams 264/264, but if you want to change to a bigger turbo..........272 is the king.

if i had the mods you had and was looking into running 11's i would consider what he has said. or you can go all out and do some insane setup if the funds will allow it!

if your getting cams, you should get the gears to go with them, they will be happy.
