Get all the basic bolt ons, some suspension upgrades and do a H/C/I combo, mid 13's to high 12's. speed doesnt come cheap, just save up and slowly but surely youll get faster and faster.

buy a 5 speed notchback, throw some 4:10s on it and some drag radials. you will see 13s
my '89 went 13.20's at 102 w/ just 4.10's , et streets, long tubes and pulleys.
12.50's same combo and 75 shot

but my '93 is only going 14.0 and 13.0 same setup, i have some fuel issues to sort out though , so hopefully better times soon.

but yeah, tires and gears....all it takes

Cheapest? Buy one that is already done...those are my words of wisdom.

There is no cheap way for speed.
never has a truer statement been made on this forum
