Stock GT's run what 13.9-14.1 right? Gears drop what .3 seconds off so 13.8 (assuming I can actually drive). CAI and Exhaust (including OR H) = 15RWHP maybe? Plenum/TB combo = 8 more RWHP and Tune = 12 RWHP so around 35 more RWHP bringing the car to roughly 260RWHP. Stock Mach1's run low 13's and are 260 RWHP and are using 3.23 gears right?

i ran a 13.39 with 245s and a 2.0 60 foot with no gears or suspension mods, most of the easy bolt ons tho. 
but like they say you pretty much have to know how to drive, and personally i think thats a bit more than just driving the **** outta it, there is such a thing as finesse...dont think i spelt that right but you know what i mean. In any case i doubt you will be able to hit 12s without a good tire or amazing driving skills at the very least from what you have now.

i love how you assume everyone races on the same track... you can gain or lose an entire second by switching tracks around the country

with 260 at the tires i was running 13.7s in a stock suspension, stock tire, convertible, automatic. in a hardtop, stick if u can launch and hook id say u could be capable of 13.4s to 13.2s but i dont see 12s. lower control arms and m/t slicks should get u a 12.9
