Like luckythirteen said, gears. Also underdrive pulleys, bigger injectors, ignition upgrade, new intakes, cam, heads. Then there's superchargers, turbochargers, and nitrous.

Again, how fast do you want to go and how much do you want to spend?

nitrous, gears and tires.

use mickey thompson et street radials, on a second pair of wheels if possible and just bolt them on for weekends and track time, i know its a PITA but it's worth it

you'll hit 12's on a 100 shot that way. or you can spend $3k for a HCI setup and do the exact same thing
