Thanks for the responses guys.
I definitely need seat time. I didn't expect much out of myself though being 8ish years since I've been and my first 5 speed car. Funny I bought this car just to cruise around with my boys (2 and 5) and drive to work. Now I've spent probably 5 hrs on the web since last nights runs researching what I want to do to this thing.

yes i remember that... i remember saying "im going to not do to much to it, maye something someday" someday came pretty quick and so did the next few times right after. I've owned my stang a little over a year and it was bone stock when i bought it... Look at all the **** i've done to mine! you'll love and hate it.

i was thinking of F/I one day (prob next year knowing me...) but to do it right you need to froge your rotating assembly to get above 8 psi i believe. I'd love to put on a kenne bell 2.6... so much money!
my favorite mod (besides pi swap as a whole) was gears, going from 2.73's to 4.10's was awesome. i still don't expect it sometimes when i mash the right pedal.

Um..
A big part about running a mid 13 is going to have to do with the track location & weather conditions. Sure, dimebag ran 13.7s, but without a DA calculation he wouldn't be able to run the same at every other dragstrip.
You should consider getting some gears anyway. Or, screw the bolt ons and run some nitrous.

On the mods I have listed I've gone a best of 13.519. Drop in a K&N filter, do the exhaust, throw in some 4.10s, and get some drag radials. Do that and work on you're driving; if the track's descent you should be able to run 13.5-13.6 without much trouble.

The biggest thing is seat time. As others have mentioned, you can either throw 40-50 hp at the thing and hope for mid 13's, or get a few crucial mods, practice, and hope for some mid 13's.
My mods are 4.10's, o/r H, catback, and DR's.
First trip to the track I had a PB of 14.5 with a 2.2 60'
4 trips later *see:seat time* I pulled a 13.6 with a 1.8 60'....no addition mods.. just practice.
