12s are pretty easy IMO if you have traction. Headers, CAI, cuout, gears and program and you should be running high 12s easily.

Add a big cam (847 like you are talking), and lloyd heads and you are looking at 11s

Everyone is talking about CAI. This is going into my 3rd gen, so would a home-made Ram Air system work just as well? http://www.thirdgen.org/newdesign/tech/ramair.shtml

Ok so I'm going to be doing headers, ram-air, GM847, custom chip. Seems like that'll be good for mid-high 12's. The heads probably will come next summer (it's more expensive than I thought). Thanks everyone! Since I'm holding off on the heads, should I get new springs/locks/retainers/pushrods, any head parts for the new cam?

Running a cam like the 847 isnt cheap. Need good springs, locks, retainers, rocker arms, pushrods and i would go for aftermarket timing chain too since the revs are going to be high. All the stock valvetrain stuff is junk and cant be run.

Zepher...I am pretty sure there is a tag on the trans....but I don't know that for sure. I found my info on the glovebox tag.
