w/o suspension and good tires - mid to high 12's - but it would be faster as a street car then the 1/4's will predict

That is what I was going for. Are lower control arms, strut tower brace and sub frame connectors worth it?

+1, mid to high 12s. Get the suspension work done and drag radials you'll be running mid 12s all day.

I think you'll be in the High 12's and mid 300's for HP. But that's assuming you don't have any other supporting mods. I don't see cat back/mid pipe, or TB/Plenum on that list.

I do have a throttle body. I was planning on replacing it with a full ford racing intake, which has a different throttle body all together. I can get the whole set up for $500 and it sells for 2200 with the throttle body (I would assum this is well worth it). I also have exhaust and an x-pipe (that was in the list). Will the items I asked about (strut tower brace, subframe connectors and lower control arms) help? What do I need to do to hit low 12's? I have never built a car I have always had trucks so the help is appreciated.
