Seriously, save it. Run your car the way it is till you know what you want. 12.5 is fast already. Just save it and think long and hard about what you want to do. Getting a large amount of cash is bad if you don't spend it wisely. Soon it's all gone and you regret it.
This advice will cost you $500 also.

sell that stuff and buy my car. at 2450 lbs, i ran 10.70 on 25" slicks. remove 300 lbs to make it a drag car, add wheelie bars and 26" slicks, and run mid 9's. all for under 20,000. its already tuned and ready to go.

Well i'm sure as hell not close to being faster than you but going buy your list i would say build your motor with sleeve's, pistons, rods. And get a good standalone and tuning. Upgrade your whole fuel system too. then send the leftovers to me for this advice i'm givin you

ever considered propane injection? most vehicles can be "converted" for under 1500 bux. get a more massive turbo on top of that and you're probably running 9's or better.

you could get something like this, and 10k would buy you a nice changeover, fully built, sleeved 2 liter, with the works for sure.
A little more, you could upgrade your intercooler/turbo wastegate and have the above graph.
30+ MPG
I would say about 12k will do it.
Then youll have a 10 second car. Like the one above. Which boosts 18 PSI and makes 500 WHP with ease.
Good luck with your motor.

invest in UPS and Dell. But only like 7G's
The rest into a Built/sleeved Bottom end and a DP Nitrous kit......hmm
Then in like two years 7G's will be..............more

Buy Jinxproofs car...its well worth it, and it will help him out too. Or I guess you could put that money into buying another motor and manifold and using that turbo kit on your car..i would take Jinxs idea tho
