The AEM cold air is a good mod for the money, but I say something basic that would help the most would be a good set of tires. Good tires can help dramatically and launching is everything in a drag race. Just my .02

Fresh oil change prior to running, new plugs, cai and weight reduction.
You can also advance your timing a couple degrees.

z10 radius arms 
tires
weight reduction (at least remove tire and junk in trunk)
air intake (even a homemade could help)
just my thoughts

Umm.. If it's pure drag (or you wanna build up some guns) get rid of the power steering belt.. I gained 4.1whp/2.4tq from just doing that in my Civ.. Weight reduction if you like the move to a more simple steering method.. That means, get rid of the pump and all that other stuff too.. Might not be easy to turn, but it's about the cheapest thing you can do..

Z10 traction bars, weight reduction, slicks. Any of those by themselves will help and require relatively little effort to do.
yea those wouldn't be my first mods though they would be good ones once making some serious power

So....a lighter car with same engine and quicker 60's, would hopefully be a mid 15
