gotta agree. the only way you'll get there in a hurry would be a shot nitrous and then you would still need to have the suspension mods to put the power to the ground.

I'm going to go with h/c/i I'm thinking AFR 165cc with a trickflow intake and ford racing E303 cam, thinking that should be good for low 13's to high 12's and around 300-320 rwhp
what do you guys think about that combo? Hp? 1/4 times?
