What's the quickest/cheapest for 12s?
This I also lump into the do it once do it right category. I will not "upgrade" a 10 bolt.
This doesn't include the safety stuff, and I'm not blowing my motor just to hit 12s when I can potentially do it cheaper and safer.
If/when I do nitrous it'll be with a proper setup.

well if you wan to do it "once and right" quit trying to skimp
$400 or less isn't going to get you much, I would suggest some rear suspension pieces,Adj LCA'S...
Everyone has put good ideas out there for little money, you just choose not to want to do any of them.... like blackz6sp said... get some seat time
it's free Trust me when I say my car cannot hit 12s as it sits, my 60' won't get better without more money.
My swaybar was already out... and still is on my garage floor.
It needs something else.
Like I already said, nitrous is not what I'm looking for.
It's gonna either be suspension or rockers/springs.

Seat time can't help a deadhook launch.
If you actually read what I wrote, you'd see that I'm looking for small cheap gains because doing what has been suggested to me IS OUT OF MY BUDGET that I clearly stated in the first post.

Wtf!?
You can get used Nitrous kits for next to nothing and if your truly afraid of scattering your engine then only run a 75 shot on it and you there! Heck a 50 shot may even be enough to put you where you need to be.
And if you want to sell the Nitrous later and upgrade your system then you can sell your old kit and I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to get rid of.

My catback is leaning against my garage wall. I'm all set with exhaust, minus true duals, which aren't in the cards for me.

I wouldn't say all of what people have been throwing out has been out of your budget. You just don't want to do most of them...EWP-MT's-Rockers-4.10's. All under or around $400 bucks

I plan on nitrous, but not right now.
Please stop saying nitrous. It's not what I'm looking for. If I wanted nitrous I'd be shooting for 11s, NOT 12s.
Then I suggest some 4.10's
an EWP won't do it alone.
MTs I already have
Rockers need springs guideplates pushrods
4.10s alone will have me shifting into OD before the end of the track and SLOW me down, unless I buy taller MTs, which puts me over budget.
What's your m.p.h. on your best pass?
I've seen a 400 hp 389 tq ls1 pull the front wheels with a a4 on a 10 bolt rear end so have a little more faith in your 10 bolt. Keep in mind automatics are not as hard on a rear end as a six speed, unless you have a trans brake.

But seriously if you say your dead hookin, suspenion isn't gonna do you any good, but I would think you should be able to pull a 1.7 off with your mods.

HEY MAN i hate to be a ***** but everyone on here is giving you good ideas. 400 bucks will only go so far. you dont wanna do your heads. you dont want NOS. you dont wanna "BUILD" a 10 bolt then what do you have left? strip you interior? suspension? thats about it. it seems like you have your mind set on something but none the less good luck. the best i hit last year was a 13.01 wanna talk about just wanting to hit 12s and thats at 110 i just couldnt hook with crappy street tires lol. but GL anyways
if you have a leaf blower laying around hook it to the intake
