You should go with full bolt-ons, Gears, a tuner, suspension. That should get you into the 12s. Also, work on your launch.

Gears will help the most. That should be the first thing. Full exhaust and intake is what most people do first.

woah woah woah. First, what all do you have done.. and what was your 60'? That makes a huge difference in 1/4 times.
Gears, Upper/Lower CA's, DR's, and subframe connectors will help your times more then any single bolt on IMO... None add power.. but they make a huge difference in hooking up and getting to speed...

+1 gears IMO gears are #1. i don't really know a whole lot about control arms. but after gears and some nice D/R's you should start opening up air flow. full exhaust (headers, mid pipe, cat-back). either a cold air intake or short ram intake (both are good). TB and Plenum combo. do those mods and you will feel a nice improvment.

if you ran a 14.7 in a 03,, i would say there are two mods that will help you out the most

1. A nice set of Drag Radials because your 60' times are probalby in the 2.3 range, which, in all actuallity is **** poor

2. Good driver mod,, practice, practice practice
