Default drag stuff

hey guys,
I was cruizin around the forums and stopped by the 5.0 section and found this guy who ran 12.48 in the 1/4 with a 225 rwhp 3200 lbs fox body. he said he had a stall and some drag wheels/tires skinnies up front medium sized ones in the back. he said with him in it the car was 3200 lbs. how do i make my car do that without spraying? he was all motor. how big a stall would that need? would it make the car unstreetable? he was almost liftin the tires i was amazed when i saw it!! thanks guys. i was lookin at these wheels on jegs: http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...46346_-1_36673
i got the cash now, so i think im going to get auburn posi unit, 3.80s, and then maybe a stall and/or thosewheels and some rear tires. thanks for any input!

Lots of suspension work. Fox body stangs basically run a 4-link and are pretty easy to get to hook. If your engine is stock, you're nowhere near 225rwhp.
