    I am looking for a 12.9 quarter mile and was wanting some advice on if my list is enough. The elevation of my local track is 1500' and i would be running m/t et drag radials. Now for the build sheet:

    Gen V M90
    N* TB
    4" Straight FWI
    ZZP 2500 stall
    FP Rewire
    SD headers
    XP hot cam
    3.2 pulley (Perhaps smaller based on tune)
    Street tune or perhaps dyno tune?

    That's everything of the top of my head, except for obvious small miscellaneous things to install/support these mods. I know i will need the tranny built eventually... Any and all help would be appreciated, Thank you.

    It will come down to how much your car makes (not all engines are equal) and your skill.

    Looks like you have a good start for the tb I would go ported stock or ls1.

    I prefer the straight fenderwell intake over a normal fenderwell and hot air intake (Open cone) I've run all 3 and have had much better luck and results with the 4" straight. Especially at the track. Yes i know its all in the butt dyno but it also just makes more sense taking the air from behind the headlight than from the engine bay or having to clean it often when its down in the fender.
    As far as LS1 throttle bodies... who still makes the adapters? Also, don't you lose cruise control? Would the ported stock tb give me all the airflow i will ever need? I have a 98 where i removed the bar and used a 99 style maf.... or is a 99 better epoxied up or does it not make a difference?

    Ported stock would be plenty for you.

    Ok so a ported stock throttle body is fine? How about if i do stage two of my build idea and throw ported heads and e85 in the mix? I guess a better question would be at what point is the ported stock throttle body a restriction?

    When you get past something in the area of a cam bigger than an S1X/XP OR smaller than a 3.0" pulley IMO.
