tryin to get into the 12's everything I have is listed in my sig. I am only tryin to do bolt ons at this time, to see if I can get low to mid 12's. Can anyone offer some advice on what I should throw in to acheive a 12.5. Dynoes are expensive, so I have no clue what horsepower I am at.

some pacesetter headers and stall (3500+)...and sticky tires of course...my car has never really been a strong runner but very consistent and used to run 13.6s with a lid, mac mids, ypipe and borla exhaust...i bought a fuddle racing 4000 2.4 stall and an accufab tb and have dropped from 13.6@103 to a 12.5@106

Are you on street tires? If so, try some nittos that should be worth .02 seconds at least, that would get you into the 12's I bet with practice you can run 12.7 ish with your current mods and good tires (unless you are already on them).

Pacesetters, ORY, and maybe a cutout. You could also do a pulley. The M6 should respond pretty well to all that.
jorLT1 he's a M6, so he can't do a stall.

If you get a real sticky tire, you are going to have to be careful launching on the track. Rev it too high and stick and you may snap the rear. I know it doesn't usually happen with the power you have now, but sometimes it does, and especially if you do headers/tune...12 bolt is a must eventually, but it is alot of $$$.

Full 12 bolt setup all built and ready to bolt on will most likely run you around 2300+ depending on whether or not you want abs on there and tcs....12 bolt and 9inch to the best of my knowledge both cost in between 2000-2400 depending on options and brand

What were your 60' times? My car has nothing but a converter and drag radials and it runs 12.4 so you should easily do it.

I agree with YellowMonster87. You could save some money by installing it yourself though. I am looking into getting one as well. The money is going to flat out suck, but it needs to be done. I think I'm going to try to do it myself though.

2.1 60'. I want to do headers as well, but people keep ranting that I need new cats and y pipe before I do headers.. and state that SLP is what I should go with. I wanted to go with Pacesetter but I have no clue...
