Default Performance Help...

I have a 1995 Camaro Z28 A4. The car is basically stock except for a Dynomax Super Turbo muffler, 3.73 gears and the car was tuned by Henderson Performance Technologies. I want to get more performance out of my Camaro. I have only taken the car to the tracks once which was also my first time ever running a car, and I ran a 13.84 with street tires. I would like to drop my Camaro into low low 13's or maybe even mid/high 12's. Anyone got any suggestions on what would help me out the best? I just graduated from high school so I'm on some what of a budget. I'm just gettin' tired of the local ricers talkin' trash cause their STI's, SRT 4's and Evo's can keep up with a V8.

well u might want to read the stickies first.....

Basically u want to get air in and out.

So,

get some kinda Cold Air Intake -- under 200
LT headers -- $400 for Pacesetter
Y-pipe - $ 125
cat-back ~$400

since its an A4, go for a torque converter. 3000 should be good.

after all that......cam + heads + rockers
$2000

yeah, u will lose some mileage, but it puts u in your power band quicker, so it makes the car more fun to drive.

My Dad doesn't like the idea of putting a torque converter in it, but then again I don't like the idea of ricers pullin' up next to me. I was thinking some drag radials, long tube headers, y-pipe, cat-back exhaust, a cold air intake, and some suspension mods. Will that make a nice little drop in my e.t.?

Also I was wondering about that Eibach drag launch springs, do those work good?
