Speed for cheap

[grrrrrrr]

with what I lave listed what should i be sitting at in the quarter mile assuming decent driving? 14.2? What about after 3.73 gears? 13.8? I want to hit mid 12's. I would like to get a set of thumpers heads and throw it on the bottle with a 100 shot. How close am I to 12's? I would like to get there the cheapest way possible... please give me a ballpark..

Forget the heads. With a Performer or GT40 intake, 24 pound injectors, drag radials, and 100 shot you could be in the mid 12's if you launch the car hard and it bites.

don't need the heads? I thought heads were a huge bottleneck on our cars..

they are, but so is the intake

E7's are somewhat restrictive, but they don't act as a restrictor unit a free flowing intake is put on the car first. Gcomfx.com (a guy on this board) has gone 13-flat with a cobra intake and stock heads in an AODE with all the other minor boltons (exhaust, MAF). So I'm sure if you launch the car hard enough you should atleast be in the high 12's.
