Looking for advise (power/speed related)

I'm wanting eventually to make my car fast enough to trap 100mph or so in the 1/4 mile. I don't care about E/T's, I just want it to be around 100mph.

How far would these mods go for me.

Stock-port se motor.
47mm Fuji Racing ITB's, with racing beat upper intake (megasquirt tune)
Full RB exhaust
Second gen-coils

I'd like to retain the stock ports so I can keep the engine longevity, but I realize it will probably hold me back some.

I'm no expert, but I'm not sure that'll get ya there. It'll be close, but I'd say thats good for 90-95.

Ah I'd say thats good enough. Although for the price of all that, it might just be cheaper to do a T2 swap. I can't wait till I graduate and actually have money for a 20b.

Street porting your engine will not decrease it's longevity, how you drive it will. What speeds are you trapping now?

Well its all stock and I haven't had it out to the track yet. I would think low 80mph zone for a stock car, no? There is a set of street ported housings and irons (by pettit) on my local craigslist for $350 new. Sound like a good deal?
