PTE once you get the fuel map sorted out, I think 12.30's to 12.40's are very feasible.

Car Mods
I weigh the car at the track , with a 1/2 tank of gas ,3650 lbs.
Renntech C/F airbox (E-bay)
Green Filters
Thermo Tech Heatshield Air Box
Evo Sports Underdrive pulleys

vvvv KLEEMANN vvvv
Headers
Cams
ECU upgrade to match above mods

Nitto Drag Radials 245 x 17

The last set of dyno numbers only showed a little increase on top . No loss on bottom end or midrange, BUT
After the dyno runn , I found a restricted fuel line and replaced it with the above piece, Then I went to the Drags
My best times before the cams was 12.99 et & 108.8 MPH now I'm at 12.66 et & 110.85 mph. An increase of .3 off the et time and a 2 mph increase. I think thats about 20 hp , by car weigh & MPH formula
