i dont want my car to be a serious drag racer, just a fun to drive around type car thats faster than most. i drive the car to college and work, so i want it to stay reliable, thx for any advice

edit: its stock except for exhaust and air filter

 

gears and stall i would imagine. that or nitrous. kinda depends on how much you are willing to accept on your daily driver.

 

auto or manual?
auto: stall, gears, shift kit, sticky tires....or nitrous
manual: gears, sticky tires.....or nitrous

 

That will drop you lower that 13's... if you're a college kid and don't have that much money, I'd go w/headers, your free mods, and a hotcam. I wouldn't spray it if you want to keep it reliable. If you do I wouldn't go over a 100hp shot. Don't put drag radials on it either, unless you want to run the risk of breaking your stock rearend.

 

ummm..u dont need nitrous..u basically need just a few bolt ons, headers exhaust gears CAI and a tune will do it

 

Hell with a tune up you shouldn't be too far from it now.

 

You can run drag radials- expecially if it's an auto.............if it's a stick, just don't do 4,000 drops.....lol

 

What will this do to gas mileage?

 

if it is an auto you need gears, stall, exhaust, cai, off road pipe, and program and you should be well into the 13's and possibly 12's with slicks. if it is a 6-speed then everything except the stall and it should be no problem with good driving. i have run a best of 12.92 on a great night on street tires no less but memphis has pretty good air at night in the fall so that helps alot.

 

If you have six speed.. CAI , gears , and sticky tires should do the job . You dont need NOS to run low 13's , or headers . A tune wouldnt hurt anything . You can get mail order tunes for lt1's all day for very little.

 

A 50 dry shot will get you in the 12's. Check sig - it takes off a whole second.

 

Whatever.....Sprayed mine since it was new 7 Years Ago. Runs fine,doesn't smoke or use oil.

If you want it in the 13's I guess you could hit the brakes right b4 you cross the 1/4 mile.lol
97 ran 13.44@107 stock spinning a lil off the line.

 

No offence dude, but you car wasn't stock and trapping 107mph.

As far as mods with an auto, get a good stall, and 3.73s. That will get you close, and full exhaust will get you further, provided you can hook up.

 

K&N intake, SLP headers, Flowmaster catback and drag radials got me 13.5 @103.7 with an auto on an average weather day. A stall converter would get low 13's, possible 12's on a good day, or you could do a computer tune to drop a tenth or two.

 

Nos or all the bolt ons
