read the two threads i made. it doesnt take much look at my notch. your hatch/auto can do the same with steeper gears and a nice stall

yea those are good articles but i dont wanna do it that way.... i wanna have a car that can run 13.5's without me havin to take off stuff at the track i want a car that runs 13.5's on the street and on the drag strip.... how am i supposed to race someone on the street if i have to stop and take everythin outta my car before i race em'? not sayin thats a bad way its just not what im lookin for but thanks

You're always going to be a little faster on the track as long as its decently prepped. So if you run 13.5 on the track, you'd probably run 13.7-8 on the street.

yes i understand that but i wanna go aftermarket parts and suspension not just go for a basically stock car.... its kinda hard to explain what i want

With some drag shocks and springs in the rear, tubular control arms front and rear, tubular k-member up front, 2800 stall, and some DRs and good driving you should see it.

i run the same on street as the track. only difference was the belt and stickies. my combo works for the street.

i think what you want is ...full exhaust (headers, h-pipe or x-pipe and cat-back), gears, K&N panel filter and UDP, stall, and a little bit of suspension work (springs, shocks and struts, panhard bar, upper/lower control arms) and some good street tires.

just get nitros thats what i did ran a 14 flat at 100mp and 13.5 at 107, could be in the 12 but need better tires. i have bin in alot of steet races and never bin beat, well once but a eagle talon with a crazy turbo, but that was befor nitros, you can get a good kit for around 800 buck i went for the zex kit. alot chepper then doing alot of bolt ons it adds up quik trust me. if you want to run a 13.5 with an auto, be ready to spend some money, theres no way around it.

Hey man im 17 too and i though it was possible to get a 13 sec 1/4 mile car but its not your gonan end up spending money regardless... so just make sure your car runs properly b/c as soon as you mod ur car is gonna show all of its weaks spots
