hmm... I've never raced from a roll. This does give me a pretty good idea of how I want to mod my car. I think I'll try everything I can to keep torque and worry about top end more when I can afford a turbo. So I guess I'll be looking forward to a crank pulley, intake side mods, and maybe fuel mods(pump, rail, tuning). And most importantly, I need to get the right tires! 205-55-R16 = not cool. I want 215-45-R16 but they're hard to find it would seem.
iufan4lifeul, for a quick air-fix, you could do the dryer duct ram air mod. I doubt it'll help much, but I did have one(working on cutting some pipe to make a better one), and it does make a difference. It won't help for the low-end torque, but it might help eliminate that stock-ish feel at the start of each gear.

Aha, I've been misinformed, lol. Consistant with your times now, or when you had similiar mods? I guess I should also mention that my tires are way too big and rubbing with every little bump... it drives me insane, but I can't afford new ones just yet. I will have a Deyeme front motor mount if it ever gets here.
iufan4lifeul, I'm actually kinda surprised to see that you don't have a stiffer set of mounts, I'd really suggest that, I've seen a few pics on the forums of what stock mounts look like after you race too much. Of course if you're like me a small part of you wants the launching to kill the tranny so you can have an excuse to swap for manual, lol.

Yeah, I was having another noob moment there. But otherwise I think I made some sense for a change, lol. I really need to finish my ram air piping, the old one was dryer duct, crushed in three places, and still noticed an improvement.

id say its time for some weight reduction. granted you are an auto, but my times were faster than that before i even did any "real" mods. my fastest was 10.384 @ 66.639 with a 2.3 60'. i swear, does no one check the registry anymore, lol. and after all these mods with a custom tune and everything, you didnt touch the bottom end??? why? also, where you from and whats your elevation?
