Next on my list is headers, crosspipes and high flow cats. I know it's not much but am hopeful for that last push to hit the 12's. What do you guy's think?Check the signature for mods and stats.

I'd say you oughta be there with those mods, especially since you already ran 13.16, the headers oughta give you a couple tenths. might have to wait for cooler weather though

Headers will knock off .2-.3 tenths too, but are meaningless unless you grip.
Get some nice tires that hook good like G-Force's, Eagles, or go ahead and get DR's.
If you do have good tires, just heat them up a little more.
the 60 ft is vital.

Good deal! I do have some stick but their just Kumho track tires. When warmed up they do pretty well but if I nail it to much off the light it does slip a little.

I also through trial and error and a dyno run did 2 things to the car that made all of the difference.
1. For those of you who have or will get a hypertech tuner, adjust your rev limiter to around 6300rpm, then up your shift point mph's so that your within 50-100rpm of the newly set rev limit. This will make a drastic improvement in your 1/4 time.
2. No matter what anybody says GET THE 160deg POWER STAT!!! I have dyno tests done on my car before and after that show more than 22hp (to the rear wheels) gain because of temperature alone. $10.00=22+hp=the cheapest mod ever
This is just what I have learned recently. Most of you probably know all of this but...
