Yet another "How much HP am I looking at" thread

That may be something to consider on the 185's killercanary. Thanks for the insight. I probably won't see 12's with my setup but I can drive this beast if I get traction. I was pulling really good reaction times by the end of the day (I know this doesn't affect ET, but it does reflect driving ability) and shifting at the optimum rpm every time. I have a friend who everyone says is a damn good driver and I put 2 tenths on him after he made 3 runs with my car so I know I'm driving as good as most people if not better.

Also, I forgot to mention, I'll be running a set of 3.73 gears and maybe some underdrive pullies. I am going to try to get some Nitto's as well. My A/C and smog pump will not be in the works as they are soon to be removed from the engine compartment. The back seat will be gone along with the carpet and all unnecessary weight will be removed. The battery may be in the trunk by then but I'm not sure yet if money will permit. Any other suggestions to make it faster and cost nothing?
