UDs will probably give you about 6-7. if you got some BFGs or nittos, that should easily take you into the 13s.

yeah but you arent always running the exact same time each run. i wouldntcall .12 off on one run proof of any performance gain. if it was consistantly making him run faster then yeah. i havent seen ppl taking the headlight out for a while though, i remember it was a little more common a while back but maybe someone busted it?

good point on the once run thing because that happened my second to last run. my last run (the left side of the track which i was on was wet from dumb asses driving their front tires through the water) i rana 14.34 spinning into 3rd so i dont know if it helped for sure or i just ran good that one time.

imo, a cai and UD pulleys are the two biggest wastes of money. you want faster times, gears and good tires will do it guarrentied

underdrive pulleys....and a cai.....no no no! first you need to get yourself a full exhaust (if you dont already have one), a set of gears (3.73,4.10), and a set of tires for the track. then you will see easy 13 second passes.

i already have full exhaust ive been running 14.1 all day now. i cant get any lower.i go to iraq in 14 days so im going to wait to get gears. actually i wont need to cuz im trading the gt in for a 03-04 sc cobra. they already have 3.73s in them. and i "think" they run 12s stock. all the cobras i see run in the 12s. but i will find out for sure in 7 months.

Unless the 3.73's were put in there aftermarket the Terminator you are wanting to trade your GT in for has 3.55's. Yeah, Terminators are quite capable of running 12's stock. Just don't get upset if you don't manage to do it the first few times you run it at the track. 390 stock hp is quite a jump up from 260 stock hp and will take some getting used to. Good luck in Iraq and stay safe!
