I could have gotten another 12-15rwhp with a P&P, but it didn't seem worth the expense.

As mentioned above, maybe a head and cam package would be a good idea. Its your money, so you have to decide if you want to spend the money for a specific upgrade. I LOVE MY CAMS and would definitely do them again!!! It sounds great and consistently runs 12.7 - 12.8 ETs with only 1.85 60', so obviously I am not abusing the thing to run those times.

GOOD LUCK with whatever you decide to do!

What other mods you have to run those times?? NOT JACKING THREAD! lol Jw

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I never planned on this car being a race car or the fastest on the street. There will always be someone faster no matter what I do. I just want a nice street car that has a little more power then the next with an aggressive sound. I am old school and have always liked the sound of cams. I guess growing up in the 70's and hearing all the muscle cars makes me want to do it. Money isn't the issue, although I was trying to keep it reasonable I just was surprised at the cost. I have replaced cams in several Windsor motors when I was a teenager, but times have changed. I will look into the head/cam replacement and see what that brings. Thanks again and more to come I hope.

It is a 2001 Bullitt, so it has the Bullitt intake and throttle body. I have added Steeda UDP, JLT CAI, BBK long tube headers, HiTech StageII cams, custom tune, MAC Prochamber mid-pipe, Flowmaster 3 chamber mufflers, 4.10 gears, Auburn Pro rear w/ 31 spline axles, VERY stiff handling springs(so it doesn't transfer weight worth a crap), CC Plates, larger anti-sway bars, FLSFC, LCA, Bilstein struts/shocks, relocated battery to the right rear corner of the trunk, and I remove passenger seat, rear seat bottom, spare tire, jack, front anti-sway bar when I go to the track, and I have ET Street radials for the track. I think that is it...

It launches with a side step of the clutch at around 3200rpm, shift at ~6300-6400rpm, and it runs through the traps at around 6200-6300rpm in forth gear at 111-113mph (depending upon weather conditions). 1/8 in ~8.2 @ 85mph.
