after that it's just a matter of tuning the NOS timer and he'll run 9s.

For the most part they are expensive, supercharger kits, turbos, heads, ... but a cam will run you about $400 plus $2-300 for titanium springs and retainers if you decide to do them, and you will gain 40-50 whp... not bad for the gains.

Do you expect to go to the track and beat them the first time out?
At this point I have come to the realization that I don't have a chance. That's fine, I am actually looking into getting a new Evo 9, and getting serious with the mods... I'll brush up on my skillz as far as Evo knowledge goes, so that I don't need a flamesuit next time I post a question...

Ok, so I guess I will need a lot of work to even hang with these guys. I am thinking about just selling my car and picking up a used '03 Z06 for ~$30k... more potential, faster stock, cheaper to make fast...

You are right, sell your car, get a used vette, and buy a head/cam package for like 2 grand.
give me the grand and I will be in the stand and shoot out his tires before he launches......you WIN.
seriously Just call AMS tell them your mods and what you are racing...see what they say. You will get a clear answer......maybe a laugh

serisouly they will rape u with no lube, but then again, what can u expect from a car thats ranging 2 1/2 to what 7-8 times the price of ur car. hopefully they can beat u. but hey, look on the bright side, he cant do daily with his ferari and u have much better gas mileage than either, well and they can probably pick up chicks easier. lol.

Chewie, you seem like the kid / guy who always has to buy whats new and great, and as soon as it's outdated, your on to the next new thing, no matter what you have to do to get it. You don't bother getting to know, or appreciate what you have, you just have to have it cause it's new and great
