intake/dp/mp/exhaust and slicks. Or substitute non-sequential twins for slicks.

If your car is bone and runs correctly, throw some slicks on and run 12.90's all day long.

Done deal.

i ran a 12.8 with just a power fc, full exhaust, an fmic, and 10psi on crappy street tires. 300whp is plenty enough to accomplish your goals

intake,full exhaust, and ecu. I ran a 12.5 on stock tires and sequential. its not too hard. i got a used intake(that i will be selling) for $150, the DP,MP combo off of ebay for $160, HKS exhaust for $300, and a PFS purple box with commander for $400. I ran high 12's without the catback. i am also selling the PFS as well.

How is that BS? With a good 60ft time that is easily possible. 12.5 with an intake, ecu, dp, mp, cb is easily possibly. Add an intercooler, slicks, and standalone ecu, turn up the boost a bit and your in the 11's with a good launch.

If all you want is low 13's or high 12's then you just need a intake, dp, catback, and keep the boost at the stock 10psi. Then if you add a midpipe get a PFC and turn the boost up to 12psi and your good for low/mid 12's. Then if you add a IC turn it up to 14psi and your good for high 11/low 12's. Add a fuel pump and some injectors, turn it up to 16-17 and your good for mid 11's.

This is all based on the fact that you have to know how to drive and your running some street drag radials like Nitto's. Your 60 foot needs to be in the 1.8x range or better and you dont need to be carrying around a bunch of BS like body kits and aftermarket wheels.

BTW - I ran 12.3 @ 113 with intake, full exhaust, base map PFC and 12psi. Running drag radials and cutting a 1.85 60 foot time. The entire rest of the car was bone stock but I burned up the stock clutch shortly after while trying to get my 60 down by launching from 6K rpms

what is lost in this whole thing is that MOST people could not drive their way out of a paper bag

For some of you calling bs on people, remember, not all drag strips are the same. In San Antonio I used to run a 15.5 in my old Integra. At another drag strip in the area I could have easily pulled off a low 15. My car was still just as slow, but the way the track is setup it times just a little differently.
