Default low 11s for a extra $2-$3000 ideas?

Mods in sig currently, thinking of doing something for next year. I already plan to change the rear to hold good tires for the track so that's a given, but power adders what else is suggested? I figure currently with slicks I can cut a low 12, maybe high 11 with a good 1.5 1.6 60ft. I was going to grab some stage 2 ported 243 heads for next year but not sure what else is a good option for my price range.

Forced induction would be nice but out of price range, nitrous I'm not for even though that would fall into my price range. Any advice to bringing up the power under 2 or 3k N/A?

You have Katech heads so I don't think you will pick up much there until you go to an aftermarket casting....

Well im not looking to change the cam, and slicks are a given but im still expecting as I sit right now to run a low 12 high 11 on slicks. I figured injectors, dyno tune, not sure what else I could do. I'm kinda aiming for a higher then a 113 trap to, even though in my area thats pretty respectable trap speed, I was aiming for like a 118 or so.

Learn to drive because you can run much better than low 12s with your mods. But seriously get some nitrous. Stop watching FnF and forming an opinion based on that. These cars were made for nitrous

In this area I don't really see cars in 11s much. It's possible but humidty and such is really high, a stock fbody usually runs low 14s maybe high 13s.

It's not that its the fact that I don't want nitrous cause of FNF bullshit, its the idea to have to refill a bottle everytime I want to get more power, and closest place to refill is about 40minutes away from here. I would rather have a turbo or supercharger and have the boost all time.
