How can I gain real quick acceleration??? from start..?

I have intake, ypipe, exhaust, I have a custom bpipe coming and i am removing my resonator.. but I am looking to gain some quickness from 1st gear...

I know forced induction would do all of this and so would NoS.. but is there anything out there to help that first gear really fast..?? I have an auto so i know the pulleys wouldnt do much either.. any other "bolts on" or weight reduction mods.. i cuz i know the max is a tank..

get 15 or 16" wheels, take out stuff from the trunk like spare tires, subs, junk, is your intake a CAI? they help out in low end, and I heard that the b-pipes and muffler decreases low end and helps out top end.(I think)

Yep - CAI does wonders by itself. And go smaller on the tires. Maybe the ECU upgrade since it's based on RPM's and not speed. Drop any exhaust upgrades and go back stock if you don't need high end.

I'd sure like to see somebody pull 5.x 0-60 N.A. !

Re: How can I gain real quick acceleration??? from start..?

So you want a faster 1st gear, here is how you do it. Get a JWT or G-Force ECU (if yours is a 95-97), UDP, protorque TC and some 205-50-15 tires mounted on light weight 15in rims. This combination should have your car running high 14's all day long at the drag strip and pull killer 60fts. Believe me I've seen a simular setup run 14.8-14.9 @ 91mph on an automagic with a sucky 2.2x 60ft with slicks .
