unless you really wanted coil overs you could just do the K member/A-arm set up and run stock spring perches.

I just dont like superchargers... still people are looking at 3-4K with parts and install.. I have to much money and time invested that i dont want to start all over again. Thats why for my next car, built motor, trans, rear, and going turbo... I have close to the same amount if not a little less in this car... no point in working backward to go forwards. They both still are really tempting. You are still running amazing times. Just add cams and that will meet your goal if not surpass it.

it's going to be hard to drop .5, I'd say built rear, cams, lt's and some weight reduction. It's a lot harder to go from a 12.0 to and 11.5 than it is to go from a 13.0 to a 12.5, I'm sure I'm not telling you anything new but you know what I'm saying.

If your budget is 1K then do the rear end especially if you go to the track often. This is a no brainer. If you have more funds definitely cams.

You need about 50hp to meet you goal give or take.

You can get to it quickly. Step up to a 125 shot, and drop some weight with a K-member and coil overs and you will be set.
