I want solid 12 second car... I know it's achievable with bolt-ons, but what would be the quickest way to get there? Traction I know will be a vital part of doing it. So i'm planning on buying new rims anyways, maybe some 17x11 with 315 drag radials. Lid and Exhaust obviously. What else could I get for cheap that would get me into the 12's? or would I already be in the 12's.
By the way my car is a bone stock 2001 SS, 6-speed.

Don't touch the rear end unless you're prepared to buy a 12-bolt. You will grenade it, especially with drag radials.
Exhaust, lid, pulley, TB, and tune should put you in the 12's easy, depending on how it runs now.

Some people have lucked out over the years, but a LOT have not.

Not really sure how great of a driver I am...I try not to destroy clutches left and right. I can launch pretty well and get through the gears quickly but I doubt i'm what you consider a "good driver." I have thought about rear end gears but 3.42's are good enough for me especially with a weak rear-end. I have raced another ls1 m6 car and I was pulling on him and he had exhaust/lid/headers and I am bone stock. He was a 99.

3.42 is a pretty low gear to have in a 6spd man....i'd definitely get AT LEAST 3.90s or 4.10's. with dr's and of course the driver mod, they would definitely help you a lot on your quest for 12's
If you're worried about warranty, throw a dry shot of nitrous on it with an aftermarket lid. 100hp worth would put you into the bottom 12's or high 11's depending on how you can hook it.
If you need to bring it in, take the kit off and put the stock lid on.
