I'm going to build a motor this spring (or sooner) and I was wondering what the best set up (reasonable $) will be to run high 12's. I'm buying a stock 86-93 LX, so that it is light. I was thinking about nitrous also... thanx!

Ok....you said "Reasonable" and I would assume you want it as cheap as possiable with-out really cutting corners.
(providing traction traction devices have been addressed& you have a sound bottom end)
Option One: 125-150 shot of spray with 3.73 gears and slicks...
Option Two:
*GT-40P heads for your local Junk Yard
(of course I would recommend having a good valve job, and new vale springs, keepers, retainers.)
*Cobra intake or explorer intake...(from your local junk yard)
* 65-70mm throttle body and a 73-75 mm mass air flow sensor
* 24 pound injectors
* E-cam w/ 1.6 RR rockers ( Both used)
* 1 5/8 headers w/ 2.5 exhaust
*3.73-4.10 gears
*155 lpi or bigger fuel pump (if remaining EFI)
*Pullies
* and remove any unnecessary weight.
If you wanted to go carb....an Edelbrock Air-Gap RPM intake with a 600 cfm DP or a 650cfm vacuum secondary carb and dont forget a new fuel pump, regulator, and dist.
This is only one of the ways of accomplishing your goal on a very limited budget.
Good Luck
