the bolded parts will fail or produce no gain. Fix the auto before you go improving power.

the lsd is correctly named. the control arm bushings may last you to the curb. Solid mounts are not streetable. U want to drag race, 18's and Eibachs wont help you./ chain the front lift the rear with footballs or bags . check with other peeps on tunes I dont know what or who has the ability to tune the cavvy prolly LS1 edit cheers

John has a point on everything he mentioned.

Definitely drop off the 18's. If you want the fastest drag time possible, find the smallest/lightest wheel size you can run and put some appropriately sized drag radials on them. Shed as much useless weight as you can from the car, as well.

Youll need a new ECM, pretty sure once it locked with the GM SC kit it cant be unlocked. If youre running the kit first thing should be to install a heat exchanger and use the intercooler.

i think trifecta has unlocked the SC tune already....

Any upgrade over the stock 1 7/8" exhaust is an upgrade. The auto trans can handle a lot of abuse and is easy to build to hold even more power. I actually have a chance to get my hands on the SMG auto that was one for their drag car.

My control arm bushings are still good and a few yeas old, will probably replace them next season. HUGE improvement over stock. Eliminated some of the wheel hop I was having. When he says solid mounts I assume he means TTR or RK sport mounts which are new mounts with poly bushings in them. They are very streetable.

As for the tune... Your ecu is locked but you could get a new ecu, and have someone HPT the car. Smaller pulley, heat exchanger setup, better intake, exhaust, wheels/tires, practice. Going to be hard pressed to get that fast with the SC. You will battle heat the whole way.
