Won't have the money till December to do this, and since it snowstill late January on Long Island, I'm not going to do this till probably February. I'll update u on what I find out on this as time passes. And see if I can find anyanswers around the net and by phone. Right now I am going to work on a little weight reduction. I'm thinking of taking out my rear seats, butwill weigh them before i take them out permanently, and a BMR front sway bar and radiator support delete. That shouldn't cost me more than a couple hundread to do and could shave around 50+lbs which isn't bad b/c it doesn't sacrifice any drivability.

you can also look into light weight rims, especially if you can cut costs on install

Just ordered the Aluminum Drivshaft from shaftmasters-$386(free shipping)and will have it installed when my rear end gears fluid is chaged from the gears break in. Install is just bolting it on I here so it shouldn'tcost more than $100. A gain of2 tenths in the 1/4I here u can get from this. That'swhat u gain frombolting on 12-15hp.This will also make the car revquicker, drive smoother, havelesschassis rattling at highway speeds, and20lbs lighter. I thought this out and this will be my last performance mod till the beginning of next yr. I'll update uafter it's installed.

if you really do hit numbers around 260, them yes you will need them. You can pick up a set of cobra injectors, those will do the trick for sure.
