TURBO

I am not an expert but I would say:
Car could possible get there with what you got with a GREAT TUNE, and tires.
Some options would be

1. Bigger Turbo
2. Bigger Stall
3. New chip or fuel management system
4. Adj uppers and lowers
5. Good set of slicks

These will get you there quick. Sounds like you got one H*ll of a car. Take it from me I am going through what you are getting ready to go through. Take it slow and learn the car and READ READ READ before you play to much. If you do not know what you are doing you can hurt that new motor fast. Always run the highest octane you can find till you understand the car better. A wise man told me that high octane can help cover up alot of mistakes while learning.
Take it slow do not hurt yourself or car!!

Good luck.
 
Sounds like you have a good car. 10's will take some changes. The fuel system is lacking---larger injectors, and a better or dual pumps will be needed. The turbo is really small if trying to achieve 10's. A 63 series, or larger would be advised. Also, you didn't mention heads---are they still stock? If so, I would have them ported. Remain realistic with your goals, and your finances. Everyone seems to just want to run 10's, but to do it and not break as often requires good parts. HTH, Brian
 
thanx guys. heads have a 5 angle valve job, whatever that means :)
im learning. thanx, keep advice coming!
