With traction and the driver mod, it should be possible without the nitrous. People have gone 12's with about 270 hp. PI swap with P/P heads, some decent cams, PI Intake, exhaust (especially if you get LT headers), will put you close to if not over 300 hp. 12's shouldn't be a problem with the driver mod.

Nitrous would just be icing on the cake.

I ran 12.89 with 247rwhp. It's gotta hook to do it though. With the swap and N2O it sounds like you have a good plan

You could probably run 12's just by adding the 100 shot now. Like JayC said, you gotta make it hook though.

Make sure you get a different intake manifold instead of the plastic one that comes on the car.

I'm assuming he means getting one has an aluminum water crossover; the all plastic ones are prone to cracking (mine did, with thousands of other people's). The PI intake is about as good as they get for all-around power.

The only reason to go with an all-aluminum intake (i.e. Pro Products, or Bullitt, or Edlebrock) is for safety from nitrous backfires.

The nitrous will take a toll on the pi one but I also spray out of the hole though. I order the edelbrock vic jr and fuel rails ($440)
