Default what gains with mods?

Im lookin to pick up some cheap power, but don't want to go headers or anything too costly or noticable. What kind of gains can i expect to get around with a y-pipe with cats, bauer tb, pulley, goodyear eagle gsd3 tires. im lookin for high 12's.

Those mods might get you into the high 12's, depending on your driving. I'd suggest a shifter as well. I would not suggest getting a Y-pipe without getting LT's. The stock flows pretty well, and if you decide to get LT's in the future, the new y-pipe you got won't fit. Look as Pacesetter LT's, they are pretty cheap.

like ^ said. skip the Y pipe, down the road when you get different headers you'll have to get a new one anyway, unless you plan for shorties which you shouldnt even bother with. the ported TB and pulley are good mods though.

hell if you are a good enough driver you might be able to squeeze a 12 second slip out of your car with some nittos. but i think those mods you listed should be ok except for the y pipe, just wait on that til you get long tubes

Here's another vote for the pulleys and the TB. Some sticky tires will get you to 12's with a good launch.

You could defiantly hit 12s with good traction and good driving on your part. Like the rest said, skip the Y until you get some headers. Good Luck on the 12s man

Cutout $25-40ish
Used set of ET streets on salad shooters $200
remove air filter, back seats, spare tire, jack, and maybe the passenger seat.

I had to have alot of practice and had to launch at higher RPM's to achieve my 12's. Good luck to you.
