Correctly matched H/C/I, full exhaust, MAF/TB/injectors, some form of used power adder, finally a dyno tune.

Then learn how to launch, and you might have a prayer.

If you start bolting on rear suspension parts, you will blow your T-5 & rear end (traction kills the transmission/rearend).

Or you could go pure n/a, rear suspension parts, and add a $2000 transmission and $1000 rear end to the bill. Then learn how to drive.
