how much you lookin to spend?
heads are the biggest bottle-neck in a 5.0
so they are a must have...but i think you shoyuldn't bother w/ them unless you can do them right...a little port work goes a long way.
btu parts and labor (heads only) lookin at 2 grand.
nitrous and slicks will wake you up in a hurry....
put you in the mid to low 12's as you are for about $800 (including a set of new rims for the slicks)

I'd have to say it's time for heads/cam.
Is the motor in good enough shape to handle another 100, 200 HP? (if blower) just something to think about.
low compression, blowby, etc. all seem to get magnified with increased HP

Second gear stab.
We got around the corner and he was ahead of me. He was still in first, maybe second becuase I could here the engines rpms- like he didn't shift cuz he was waiting for me to catch up. So yea we got even and he jumped on it before me and got a ahead a car maybe, then I jumped on it, caught him and left him behind. I stopped racing half way threw third.
I told one of the guys at work and apparently he knows the car,(his brother works with you) I asked him if he knew Rob, and he said "yea that's the guy that did all the work to it."

Well I guess it wasnt' much of a race, but it felt good to finally beat someone. This was right after my 250lb stereo system was stolen.

Sounds like a pretty clean race, maybe he blew 3rd gear while he was racing you, that car was good at that, lol...Something tells me the car doesn't run like she used to... ![[Frown]](frown.gif) ...I'm not saying your car is slow, but I've seen my old car a few times in the last few months and she was filthy... ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)
For a reference I ran 2.0 60ft-13.6 @ 102mph over a year before I sold the car and then after a few mods dynoed 254rwhp and 301rwtq a few months before I sold her...When I sold the car I'm sure that 13.4 @ 104mph were in her...
I can't make excuses for a car I sold over almost a year ago, but it sounds like you're gonna have to race Joel's old 82 GT...He has the same bullit wheels you have (among other things) now too... ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
