12.8-12.9's with those mods.

I'd say full exhaust as in, Long Tubes, Off-Road mid pipe (x will give more power), mufflers if you so choose. Then you would need the CMCV delete plates, a Cold Air Intake/tuner, UDPs, 4.10's and you might hit 12.5s.

Nitrous or a Supercharger will get you into the 12.5 range real quick though.

It's a mod you buy from Steeda. You can get the billet ones from them which are 300 bucks and pre-drilled for nitrous taps and have a little bit larger opening. Or you can buy their "economy" ones which are about 150 and will be fine for pretty much everybody.

What they do is take out these "tumblers" in the intake runners. The tumblers act to make turbulence in the air so that it creates more torque and horsepower in lower rpm ranges. The deletes are good for about 10hp/tq if I recall correctly and most people do not notice any loss down low.

Look like this:

I guess it would if you want to go the drag strip and get every ounce of power out of your car. From what I hear these are most benificial in the upper RPM range.

1. JLT or C&L intake/ DYNO tune
2. 4.10's (4.30's would be better)
3. 28x10 SLICKS - NOT "drag radials". compromise is a dirty word
4. underdrive pullies
5. cmcv delete plates
6. lower control arms
7. long tube headers/ off road H or X pipe
8. BMR front swaybar/radiator support delete

Welcome to the low 12's

i saw someone post that FRPP had a license for one year. once that year was up, no more FRPP plates. thats when you started to see the steeda economy plates show up, and all the places that used to sell the FRPP plates changed to the billet steeda units.

so, seeing all those changes, the FRPP license makes sense to me.
