Certain vehicles can be modded inexpensively. I have an 02 lightning, and I can get around 500-520 whp with about 2-2.5k worth of mods. Mainly getting the blower ported, and upping the bost 6psi (to 16). The fuel system can support that, as can the tranny. Some long traction bars and drag radials are about all I will need in the suspension dept, maybe some drag shocks too. Should be good for mid 12sec runs, which will eat most things on the street. Pick your car wisely, as some have lots of potential, while others are maxed out...

I still laugh when I read import tuner and they put on 2k worth of goodies and get 3.5hp... Taking out the back seat and spare tire would about equal that, or telling the fat gf that she has to stay home while you race.
