really, so whats another 300 gonna get me then bob? please tell me how to make it so that my car reliably runs 12s over and over and over again. anmd by reliably i mean not breaking after a couple visits to the track. i know exactly what itll take to get my car into the 12's from the point its at but id like to know what you think itll need. btw 350 0is pretty much what my entire kit set me back, 3 inch mandrel bent stainless exhaust, charge pipes, complete fuel system including safc, new turbo, big fmic. all the lines fittings and everything out the door was roughly 3500. ive added a couple other things since then but for 3500 the car was drivable and i could tune it, not to mention the fact i got some things cheap or free to help keep the cost down. but then your saying anothre 300 will get me into the 12's. well lets se, not on a stock tire, not on a stock clutch and suspension, well you can use spacers from crappy tire for the rear springs. but i just happen to know that at the power levels im at the stock clutch starts to take a beating and when you get it warm after a few passes it starts to slip. so then comes the tire, stock tires wont get you anywhere, i got into the 13's on a stock clutch and 5 year old crusty ass radials that sit in my garage during the summer. im sure had i gotten more than 3 passes in the car woul dhave gone a mid 13 but no where near a 12 on that setup or with another 300 ontop of that turbo kit.

now id also like a comfortable car so it keeps its interior, as did mine when i went tothe track with it, full interior, 16inch spare inthe trunk, my tool box, power pack, everything that i kept i nthe car on the street stayed in the trunk jt to see what i ran in what i call street trim.

oh one other thing, stock tranny wont get you into the 12's, the new one i baught is stronger, has better gearing and its worth more than the 300 you say you can use.
