Default Need help!

I am looking to improve my time on the 1/4 mile. I already have Mickey Thompson ET Street, 26 x 10.5 x 16, and edelbrock headers. but i need to improve it by some bolt ons. I have 1 month to do it till a competition I wanna enter into and I might be able to get my hands on some discounts for parts. Any suggestions?! also this is my daily driver so it can't be too drastic of a mod to make it uncontrollable on the street.

Thanks!



p.s. I looked for the "so you wanna be fast" thread but couldn't find it thats why i'm posting cuz I know theres probably like 163638 threads like this. sorry.
