Default Worthwhile Bolt Ons?

Is the only way to make your 2V fast enough to keep up with Mach 1's, Corvettes, Camaros and the like to supercharge it?

Worth while bolt ons... Mac LT's and midpipe, cheap used Dragon plenum, 70mm Aviator t/b, gears, suspension, cams, remove silencer, k&n filter, weight reduction, and a badass tune. Thats about it.

From a dig: all the bolt ons, heads and cams, tires, and a good driver.

From a roll: nitrous, blower, other driver missing a gear, a miracle, etc.

vette is a different class car. other than that.. bolt ons and cams should put you into competitive range of stock camaros. modded camaros can be pretty stout though.

Blower. Only worthwhile bolt on for these cars.

Even with a blower, a Zo6 handed me my ***. I will get another crack at him this summer. I dont know if my trans. is going to hold up this year.

w00t! right here baby. BUILT 5.4 + 2 stages of nitrous. Should be over 600lbs tq and 500hp on a full 150 shot from the motor I'm building. Remember... vette is in a totally different class and benefits from other than brick-like aerodynamics.

at the track I've beat built LT1's, stock/lightly modded LS1's, and 5.7L GTO's.. haven't raced any vettes though. This is with me pulling 2.2 60fts, not sure what they were running.
