Default Born to go fast

Guys... i'm all in now... I put too much into my car to just drive it to work, so I might as well keep spending and go fast..

I have noticed this forum has some really talented people on it, and the knowledge surpasses what I will ever know about these cars, and probably any car, so I will have to reach out and get some help.

I have been working on my suspension right now, and once that is done, I will be spending away on making more HP, and this is where I need some extra help.

I have a 1993 Trans Am A4, Its been through a bunch of owners, and i'm sure it wasn't always loved, so it looks like I have been taking care of that fully.

I am looking for some cost effective ways of getting more HP, personally I would like something that will eat all those chargers, challengers, c5's and what not..

Maybe a good 350- 400HP? What does it take to do 11's - 12's?

any suggestions?

Bolt ons will get you into the 12's
Cam only 11's

LE will get you good HP for a good cost

Llyod Elliot portwork would be the LE im referring too

Bolts ons would consist of

CAI/LID
Gears
Long tube headers
Tune
Stall
1.6/1.7 roller rockers
Catback/True Duals
Electric water pump
are the main ones off the top of my head.

What you looking to spend that can help quite a bit

Low 13's if you know how to drive. I can crank out 13.0's consistently but I've got gears and a tune.
