Long tube headers
Texas speed true duel exhaust with x pipe

That compression is way too high for boost. I'd aim for sub 9.5. If it were my build I'd actually shoot for about 8.5:1

Compression is going to kill you man, just buy a nitrous kit before you blow it up

You need more practice if you can't hit low ELEVENS in that car without the spray.

That setup should run low 12's absolutely no problem with 100 shot...unless you're racing up hill or on top of a mountain, I'd expect 11's all day probably even without the spray.

Whats suspension setup are you running?

That compression is way too high unless you are planning on running E85 and/or race gas all the time.

Get yourself some good tires and launch that car well into the high 11's.
