Get a shift kit and a converter
|
I was waiting for someone to throw that in! With a good converter (like PI as someone suggested), 4.10's, and some sticky tires (go with Nitto's if you can't afford an extra set of wheels) you'll knock almost a whole second off your 1/4 mile time.
Now, as a lot of people have suggested...get a set of 99+ heads and intake and you're well on your way.
Throw some N20 in the mix and you
might be close to the WS6.
Try and be realistic about this goal...you've got the worst platform to start with out of all 3 of the cars mentioned. Like you said, it's going to take a little bit at a time and you're going to have to plan ahead to make sure everything's matched right.
I'd start with the converter and gears first and then go with the 99+ heads/intake and top it off with the N20. Can't say for sure how close that'll get you to the WS6, but you won't be too far behind and if he's your typical 16-17 year old driver (ie. inexperienced) you ought to be ahead of him.
