Here's some control arms that work great and are lightfor the price.

I would change to 4.10 gears, get the sticky tires, and 125 hit of nitrous. If you can drive there should be no problem running in the 12s. Have you ever run at the drag strip before?

i was reading a thread and theres a guy with gears and 275 MT tires and he has 13.6 in the 1/4 in his sig. so i think i should be able to get low 13's or even closer mids with what i want to put on. no i have not ran at a strip before, the only way i would is if i got a trailer for my jeep cause i would be afraid of something blowing on my car, i want a quick street car, that i can built up for cheap (the fox owner dream) just a fun car for me. plu i love beating on my buddies supercharger BMW, i want to kill him even more when my car comes out of storage

Get your suspension right before you go and don't set your expectations to high, those damn 1/4 mile clocks will hurt your feelings. It takes a lot of seat time to get your driving optimal, and doing it on the street is completely different than it is on the strip.

Look around for a used supercharger on the net. You can usually pick them up for 1-2k and that alone would get you deep into the 12's.

Beware, you get what you pay for. I had that same set and was busting bushings regular in them.
