I have a new combo waiting to go in that consists of: Gt-40 irons/E-cam/Cobra intake.
Before i take the car to the track next time i will have installed all this stuff: CAI, Pulley's, shortie headers, 1.6 RR, AFPR, 65mm tb, offroad-H, catback, 2500 stall convertor, and a mild shift kit.
I took the car to the track once with just 3.55 gears and everythign else stock including the stock stall convertor. I didnt stall the engine at all and the best time i cut was a 14.9 @ 94.

So after all the mods i have listed above, what kind of gains could i expect in HP/TQ numbers and can i dip myself into the 12's?

I doubt youll be able to get that into the 12's. Hopefully someone will disagree with me.

tell the parts guy you have a '93-95 cobra when looking for spark plugs, I forget the # of hand you need for GT-40 iron heads. I think you can run a 12, but that stall might be on the small side. How high can you launch holding it with the brake?

On drag radails mostl likely unless i pick up a set of slicks before i head up to the track. With the stall i will be able hold the brake and rev to 2500 without breaking the tires loose. It is an 89 notch, so it should weigh a tab more than 3k lbs.

Oh yea i like my gear ratio because i drive all over and my gas mileage is bad now so i dont want my freeway mileage to go down even more(around 15MPG now).

Should I go with a mild port job on the heads instead of the NOS? Initial cost is about the same but their benefits are way different. Dammnit i just want a 12.XX timeslip

Get the 100 Shot from NX and you will have a 12.xx slip no doubt.

Yeah, get that 100 shot and you'll be in the 12's all day long.
