Default how to get in to the 12

i have a 1995 black trans am 6 speed convertable

i want to be in the 12s without pulling my motor. i was woundering about a cam, slicks, long tube hooker headers, flowmasters, clod air intake, 4:10 gears will that get me there.

ditch the flowmaster, add almost any other catback, and add N2O and your way in

I would go with a good size cam, Air lid, Tires, LT headers, Y-Pipe and catback system. ( Dont get a flowmaster )

Also dont forget a tune. Nitrous would also get you there and alot cheaper.

4:10 is alot of gear if you drive it every day. Look into 342 or 373 gears.

My buddy has a 96 lt1 1le 6spd, All he did was intake,msd ignition (everything),cooler thermo,pacesetter lt's,mail order tune, true dual,4:10's,drag radials,and air bags in the rear springs,and new clutch with flywheel, he was running from 12.6-12.8's all day. But he has broken teeth off his 4:10's twice now. Throw a nice 100-125 shot of n20 who knows low 12's.
