Oh yeah. If dry weather driving is all you do. The Nitto's pale in comparison to the ET Street Radial in the traction department. The only advantage you gain with the Nitto's is longevity.

The standard Trick Flow Twist Wedge 170cc heads would work really well on your car. :nice:
 
If you have gt40x heads, and not the not the gt40y's, it may not be worth the trouble to get new heads.
The x's are pretty good.
What i would do is get a bigger better mass air meter and a custom cam, and have your heads valve jobbed and bowls cleaned up for about $250 or so.
Probably net you 30-40 more rwhp.
Mind you, one of the quickest full weight stock 302 NA street cars i know from personal experience went 11.80's@116 with gt40x heads (unported but valve jobbed), e cam, and a real gt40 intake.

I should of posted 2months ago you guys a great help! what mass air would is the best you think?
 
95mm pmas velocity meter would probably my first choice.

Some will say the 73mm C&L you have is ok, but i assure you, it's a POS. My buddy owns a dyno shop and has had his own meters in the past, the c&l's do not stack up against a properly calibrated meter. You won't find any real shops using them.

Sounds good well since your in nj to im in north jersey where would the best dyno/tunning shop be you think . good things are said about the one in englishtown
 
Nice car. I like the red/black interior myself, my old 90GT had that interior. A bit too much red, but it's not common at all for most cars on the road.

What size tires are back there?
