some weight reduction (-100lbs=-.10 aprox)
subframe connectors to help with those 60's
lower control arms
With that you should be in the mid,low 14's easy

control arms, drag radials, subframes and driver mod would put you into the 13's.

weight reduction mods?
still have iron head's, i have 1994 GT seat's, both driver and passenger, still have back seats, still have the convertible motor, still have A/C and smog, etc.

only thing i can think of removing that wont mess with this car being my DD is the rear seat and all the seat belt and plastic crap back there.

we drive the car alot, so i cant really remove the passenger seat.


if i remove all that crap i listed, i would lose prob 200lb, but it would be annoying to drive everyday......

You just need practice. after you dump the clutch hold the brakes like you would an auto. Those control arms would work just fine, get you better traction and yes you can remove the quad and put a 275 on the rear.
