Do a lot of research and see what mods put you where you want to be. Then you can figure out pricing.

Im here in el paso and I feel your pain. Elevation SUCKS!!! The fastest I could get the car was a 14.2 and it was also my first time. Though I think the times were really off because supposedly my 60ft was a 2.2 and the evo i raced with an apexi time attack turbo had a 3.0 60ft

I know I was getting good launches becausen tim I always had a later reaction time and still passed him in 1st and second gear it wasnt til further down the track he passed me. I dunno what track your going to but Im sure a better track will help your times.

I'd like to see the rest of these time slips (mph, 60' etc..)

You two must of had some crazy hp tunes, had a some weight reductions, or had some ultra amazing driving skills.....

All you really need to get is a hallman boost controller and a tune from one of the reputable tuners on this forum or a reputable shop in your area.

I my fastest time above 5000ft was 12.0 on race gas and on pump 12.6. Just practice your launching and shifting and your times will get better. See whats in my sig to see what I'm running now and it should be in the mid to low 11's.

Also a big help would be upgrading your turbo hotside to the 10.5. Yours right now is only the 9.8 hotside.
