lid, headers, cutout, 150 shot. This would be the fastest from a high mph roll.

For a drag strip run I would get a stall converter if its an auto, sticky tires, and whatever else you could afford.

But honestly my first $12-$1500 would go towards subframe connectors, intake, lid, headers and some form of exhaust and/or cutout.

Its a 6 speed. I also have Flowmaster Muffler. I noticed that the K&N air filter is an open box -- I thought I'd rather have cold air -- not hot?? I'm looking for drag strip speed.. But if I put a shot of NOS, I have to change a lot of other **** otherwise I will blow a piston or somethin...?? Right?

tires
lid
lt's w/ ory
cutout
dry shot (may not need a tune at all since the headers will fatten it up a bunch anyhow). maybe 100 shot. you could be looking at 11's with that- screw dyno #'s btw worry about track times.

if you have any coin left over sfc's would be a good idea. also !swaybar, !rear seats, !jack and spare.

Nitrous was the first mod on my car and I wouldn't have done it any differently. However, to set the car up right for a wet 150 shot, your going to spend almost all of that $1,200.

Or if you want to make a comprimise. You can set up a dry 100 shot for about $600 and use the rest of the money for headers and an exhaust.
