If he wants to run 12.9 for a 12 sec. claim then he can do it on the cheap NA and have the sound established suspension to make better use of the power adder, then after that he can add a 100 hit for the shits and giggles in the end we all know he will either do it all because we are not the type to settle for good enough.
Guys i need a little advice, my goal is to reach high 12s w/my 08 gt/cs. My best is 13.3 seem to lack that punch at the end, ..
Heres what im running at the moment 4.6 bullet intake sct tune,x pype flotech muffs, Auto trans,steeda undrpulleys,4:10 gears,steeda lower control arms,M/T DRs 15x10/ front skinneys 3.5.. I want to reach high 12s normally asperated! cant afford sc/turbo...I was looking at diff intakes throttle bodies but gains seem minimal... Do ya think the CL/Frd racing intakes would put me over the hump...thanx brett

its been mentioned in here already, but suspension mods should come first really. though i dont think shocks alone are going to get you 3 full tenths on your bolt on car, they will go a long way in to helping.
if i were spending my money on your car, i would purchase the shocks first and dial the car in. if you dont find 12s then, purhase a torque converter. though really, without testing you wont know for sure if thatll do the trick but considering that the stock stall is around 1600rpm...stalling double that speed will help you get to the torque much better. assuming the suspension can handle it [ this is why you bought adjustable shocks! ] you should deffinitely be in the 12s after fine funing the transmission shift points/pressure ect ect. even with those 2 items, 12s wont come easy.
lastly, by invensting in a converter/suspension now, you can utilize those items later on if you decide to use a power adder later. oh, one last thing, try running the car when its like 45 degrees out. maybe thatll help lol.
^^^^ THIS!!!
Twice late last season I was at LVD with my bolt on equipped 2012 GT and had guys with supercharged 2012 GTs shocked that I was running faster than them. It is all in the first 60 feet.
I had read one of Bone's posts about the same thing, and spent the $ on lower control arms and relocation brackets. Well worth the dough!

The one guy did have drag radials, but no line lock, so he couldn't heat them very well.
I know how to heat slicks with a manual trans and no line lock, but I didn't have time to teach him in the staging lanes.
Then again, I had some trouble getting a good burnout with the auto without the line lock. Those rear disks have some holding power.
