A stock car, good air, good track prep, and a good driver.

Patriot performance heads, comp cam, full exhaust no cats no mufflers, ls6 intake, blackwing, custom tune = around 10k all installed

Seeing a 40 year olds face with a slightly modded z06 lose a race at the strip by almost a full second to a 19 year old = Priceless.

O yeah ran high 11's

Some DR's and a good driver should get you into the high 12's

All it took for me was a Vararam and dyno tuning (total cost in the US would be well under $800)
