good suspension, weight reduction, good driving, then some P&P heads/cams/Longtubes/Mid Pipe/other various bolt ons and have at it.

If you are going to do slicks that means you'll most likely need to build your rear end. Unless you enjoy not having one?

Message JACKIECHAN on here. He ran a 12.9 in his pig of a convertible. He had VERY minimal mods too.

Im shooting for the same thing, only better 
Plans are: MMR Stage 2 Heads, VT Stage 2 Cams, LT's, on top of all my current mods and of course a good Dyno Tune once thats all installed. Im interested to see how the Edelbrock Manifold performs whenever it comes out, but thats not part of any plans, more or less curiosity.
Anyway, Im also going to beef up the rear end and run slicks (I may switch to 4.30s), already have LCA's and I'll probably do some weight reduction. Nothing serious like a K-member, but a rear seat delete for sure. Im hoping all this will put me in the mid-low 12 second range, if not better.

How do you want to get in the 12s? By the skin of your teeth on slicks, or EASY 12s? You CAN go 12s like these guys on some great DRs/slicks on a STICKY track (1.7ish 60's) and just make it...or you can get some power and make it nicely into the 12s with a 1.89 60' on nitto drs (bad prep) like me 
. If I were to pull some crazy 60s im sure 12.4 would be fairly easy.
So which is it? This will determine the answer greatly...
