My car has a complete stock suspension, im running 17x9" rims with 255/40/17s. My best E/T was 13.6@105 with 2.25 60' times. I really want to lower my E/T's hopefully into the 12s. I have 275 RWHP and 355 RWTQ. Where can i start to help me hook up better? To run MT E/T drag radials will i have to buy torque box reinforcements?
Please help me i want to get the most out of my engines current power!

You don't "have to" put in torque box supports, but it's a really good idea, especially once you start hooking up with the power you're making. Also look into some full length weld-in subframes with seat supports. Some upper and lower rear control arms wouldn't hurt either. Other than that, put on some good drag radials or slicks and you should be ready to rock.
