Also i would like to improve the upper RPM power...

It depends on who you are and how much your willing to do, but my car has gone 12.5s with similar mods (I run stock heads, with GT-40 valves) and 12.9 on radials. The suspension on that car sounds like it might hurt more than help at the track, so figure mid 13s out of the car. Maybe a decent cam, and some drag radials and the car should go into the 12s!

sounds like it's there already there...i wouldn't change anything in the suspension til run it.

get a set of stickies, and try it...it should be good for about 12.70-12.90 as is.

do you guys know of any other mods other than sticky tires that would help to bring my 1/4 times down?

I'd say with that combo, it'll be more like 13.3-13.5 second car. You want 12's with that, just get yourself a Zex nitrous kit. It's alot more user friendly, for the first time nitrous user.

Theres a chance for mid 12s if it hooks on a tire. But sometimes its better to expect slower and try for better. Your first time out it probably wont go to fast, till you find the best shift RPM, and such!
