Default aiming for low 13's/low 12's, doable?

alright well now that i sold my '95 i gotta get me 2000 going, for this upcmoing season i'll be adding a few mods, total mods will include a stall, transgo shift kit, cooler, upping from 3.73's to 4.10's, u/l spherical ca's, plenum/tb, k&n filter, udp's, 93 tune, catless hpipe and catback, and 555r's. so full bolt ons minus headers pretty much. I'd really like to see some 13.3's from this as the car will be staying pretty much full weight. Then after that's dialed in I'll be adding my 100shot and would like some low 12's. Think these goals are doable? all opinions are welcome .

Do it.

But seriously, 4.10s, drs and a vortech would kick some ***

I think so. You're already running a 14.1. Stalls are good for half a second on some cars, so I'd say the tires, 4.10s, AND stall would definitely be good for a solid half second. The exhaust and tune should seal the deal for low 13s. 100 shot, low 12s are yours.

I'd suggest getting the biggest trans radiator you can find, and letting it cool off a decent amount between runs. Your trans will last twice as long.

I've heard of stalls being good for .5 as well, hell for the 750 i'm spending on it i sure hope i get a good gain from it lol. i had 3.73's exhaust and a tuner before but that was it, all those 14's were also on heavy *** 18's with street tires which sucked.

and 3.0 i'm not a big s/c fan not sure why but i already have a n2o kit from my '95 so there'd be no point imo to spend more money for the same power gains.

also as far as coolers go i got a pretty damn big one off a navigator that i'm gonna try and rig up mounting wise. if it doesn't keep it cool enough then i'll go for a nice b&m or something but i'll deff keep an eye on it.

I think it's very doable. Before my cams i ran a 13.3 @ 104 with a 2.0 60ft. That was with full weight, 555R's, and mods in sig, minus cams and nitrous.

yeah i was using my buddys car for comparison, he had full bolt ons/minimal weight reduction and got a 12.9@107. i figured without headers and with a little more weight i could hopefully pull off a few tenths slower and hoped to trap around 104/5 area.

Being that you don't have long tubes, and have an auto, i'm thinking that 104-105 mph might be a little tough...especially at full weight. When i did that run i had 269 rwhp through a 5-speed, and i'm sure the long tubes helped a tad. Anything is possible though. IMO, the 13.3 should be easily doable. Shoot, i had a crappy 2.0 60ft, and still hit that.

Full bolt ons, 4.10s, an DRs will no doubt get you low 13s. Add some cams, your in the high 12s. Add some ported/upgraded heads, you could see some mid 12s. Add an edelbrock victor jr intake manifold (plus fuel rails/injectors), and you'll be scraping the low 12s. Take out the spare, jack, back seats, AC, and radio (you said it was a track car right?), and you have yourself an 11 second NA 2V. Who said it couldnt be done ?*

*All of this assuming you have propper suspension mods (LCA, UCA, Shocks, Struts, Springs, Subframe connectors) and a good tune.

Good luck!
