Sticky tires and a short throw shifter will work wonders. Maybe a set of U/D pulley's, TB and plenum may help as well. Most important is practice, practice, practice.

Yes, there are lots of bolt ons that can make a difference.

Sticky tires can make a huge difference. You may also consider underdrive pulleys, an aftermarket plenum and throttle body, supercharger, nitrous, cams, and a tune for premium gas.

Sticky tire's and 3:73's or 4:10's will make the biggest difference fast. Gears are not really a bolt on though but worth the money. jmo

Yep sorry, Just noticed your mods.

Not sure what every one likes to run. I have an extra set of wheels with M/T streets I just change out when I go to the track.

M/T streets so I can drive them to the tract legally. just don’t get caught in the rain with them

Not to be a smarty pants, but I have something that will make you fly down the track trying searching.........its been covered like a million times. A little time searching the forums will result in some great mods and you will start dropping time at the track

Safe is usually around or less then 400 HP at the rear wheels. Some people get away with 450 at the rear wheels, but if you want it totally safe, I would stay under 400 at the rear wheels

With what you already have just add the blower, a good tuner and some time on the dyno and you will have a different car. Add heads, intake and cams and you should be close to what your stock bottlom end can safely handle.

Depends on how much faster you want to go and how much you want to spend. There are plenty of ways to get there but budget and what you can do in your garage can play a big roll. What are your goals?
