Reaching a dead end

Well, after a nitrous kit, full 2.5 header back exhaust, cold air intake, ground wires, and an underdrive pulley which is in the mail, I am running out of mods to get me quicker 1/4 mile times.

Does anyone have any suggestions other than incresaing my nitrous shot, or adding an ecu (b/c you can do it with nitrous)

weight reduction such as carbon fiber hood and trunk. Lighter wheels, etc.

what times are you looking for, cause jimes has a 12.1 1/4 time with nitrous ask him. if you got the dough s/c or turbo.

I don't plan on a supercharger or turbo, i think you can get better times with nitrous for cheaper. Weight reduction i am seriously looking at, but looking for more options. already going to steelies w/ slicks. carbon hood is coming soon too.

running a cold fusion kit with all the goodies

what would be the best bang for the buck mod as far as $/second in the quarter

A full 3" exhaust from Warpspeed should help, depending on what shot you're running now. It definitely paves the way for a bigger shot in the future, if you eventually decide to do that.

You stick or auto? With a manual you could go with a stage 1 or 2 clutch, lightened flywheel, etc.

Lightened flywheel,
maybe MEVI but I don't know how much it would help without an ECU upgrade seeing as you are spraying,
weight reduction,
slicks,
VB mod,
tranny cooler (I think this helps, but then I'm not auto so I'm not sure)
S/C or turbo,
headers,
and maybe internals from a VQ30DET

i have forced induction, what kind of gains on your heads? yes im auto and have a tranny cooler and drop resistor. i am considering a torque converter. as far as weight goes, my trunk is empty and so is my car. hood goes on soon as well, mevi wont help too much since im not getting an ecu
