Goal Mid-Low 13's?

Just my opinion, but that Holley intake is way too much for a stock headed car. You'd be better off with a Cobra or GT40 intake IMO. I don't know if the cam would help without aftermarket heads either, I know the stock cam is supposed to be pretty good (I've heard of guys going 10's with the stock cam, and I know a guy who went 11's with it).

Sub frames are a must IMO, the rest of the suspension stuff depends on how driveable you want it. Adjustable shocks and struts are a good idea, 4 cyl springs in the front, stockers in the back, pull the sway bar (or just the end links when you go to the track) and sticky tires. That's a simple set up.

I don't think your going to be able to go as fast with an automatic on a stock headed car as you could with a manual. I don't know much about the automatics though. Just my .02
