Magnaflow Catback
MAC O/r x pipe
MAC shorttube headers
BBK UD pullies
MAC CAI
3:73 gears
E303 Cam
Cobra Intake Manifold
BBK 70mm TB
76mm MAF meter
JET module

and quarter mile times depends on track, temperature and how big your ***** are

Well he edited it, the 3.73s are worth about a half a second drop in the 1/4 mile, all of the performance mods are probably worth 30-40 hp. So you'd be close to 13's maybe high thirteens in "ideal" conditions at the track. Like Quik said, you could have a 1000 hp 5.0 and with someone that doesn't know what they are doing it could run 1 minute in the quarter mile.

its not always the hp that will lower your times either your suspension has to handle the power to get the most to the wheels

thats why my suspension is basically full drag with a few more things to be added. also lightweight cars go faster then heavy ones

knock off a few hundred pounds and properly setup the suspension and youll see more doing this then gaining 50hp or so

well i'm not looking to make a drag car, just a decently fast reliable street car. My suspension is pretty shot though, do you have any recommendations as far as springs, shocks, struts, and stuff like that?
