Don't forget the cat back exhaust either...remember the induction and exhaust systems are only as good as their narrowest point...

i forgot to mention i already an full exaust system. and also forgot to put cam on the list, and the reason why im not going with afr's is they cost to much money for me, if i can get my hands on a set of junk yard gt40's ill go that way. but i would think 6-700 would cover an nice port and polish job on a set of e7's that will get close to the same preformace as afr's. im also not a big fan of gears but iv been considering them

Get gears. Without them the car just plain won't be that fast.

The best port and polish job in the world wont see the numbers that AFR's would give you, Ill tell you that much, and without gears, 12's will be VERY hard.. Not to mention you'll need a good slick....

im not compleetly ruling out gears, im just not a big fan of them, and slicks i think go without mentioning, i think its pretty much imposible no matter how much hp you got to run a 12 on 60k mile street tires. btw id be happy with one 12.98 run preferibly 12.5 but id 12.98 would be fine with me as well
