what would i run in the 1/4?

with all those mods, you'dbe around 14.5, at best i've seen someone do completelystock was 14.96. this was at atrack here in florida. to get those times, one would need near perfect reaction time.

Not true, unless you're bracket racing. At regular track events (street nights and test & tunes), reaction time means nothing. The timers don't start 'til you leave the line.

Don't forget, you're going to need about $500. of that hard earned cash to have those gears installed!

Gear installs are typically 250-325 for most shops.

Sounds like your underestimating the cost of all that. If your going to do T-loc then defenatly do the gears 3.73 is what I got and found that that was the best mod I did as far as seat of the pants power.But the gears and T-loc instaled was almost $1000.00.
So woud do the CAI and Tuner since the tuner will help you lots when you do gears and it will allow you to run 91 oct fuel and get the best benefit from that. Them move to the gears and t-loc. I agree with other posts about the exhaust I currently have a GT take off and love it. Save money on that.

Nice options, I'd personally drop the dual set up and go with a set of gears (3.55,3.73,4.10's) and have someone good install it. The duals at this point are only for looks not much power. I'd go with a LCA that will help you put this power to the ground like you wouldn't believe. COst about $125+ and go on in about 2 hours if that.

I would agree with Rmays, that is the route I would go as well and get the gears done at the same time as the Tlok. Then a LCA to help plant the power to the wheels.
