why because i can drive my car to a ET almost as quick as yours only mines bone stock with 200K miles, but without all spending all that money on mods like?

thats retarded advice

id say get some slicks before then, take a trailor with you, limiter launch it and powershift the **** out of it at 5300 RPM. That will get you the ticket to a 13 second pass with a stock 5.0 five speed. Youll get a few good launches before you have to say peace out stock axles

#2 is good because you def want as much weight as possible off the rear wheels on a rear wheel drive car ... Also alot of tracks wont let you run if you dont have a hood(atleast in VA)
