    91+ as per usual.

    Might benefit from a tune. If you have to choose between canned tunes, your stock PCM might be better.

    Just so you know, you just typed out three grand in engine mods.

    Which will let you make more than enough power to start breaking hard parts in your trans if you ever decide to hook.

    You also didn't specify a camshaft. That in itself can be a can of worms.
    I knew it would cost quite a bit, and I'm fine with that. Quick question, though. Would getting rid of my wish for a cam and getting 1.9 rockers be possible with all of the other mods combined?

    Yes.

    With traction you'd see high 12's.

    With E85 you could take that further.

    Or you could cam and run even faster times.

    Either way, plan on a pricey transmission.

    Rockers typically result in buyers remorse, sometimes as immediately as your first WOT run.

    You can literally do whatever you want.

    What cam and rockers? Sure, just modify the heads for it.

    Want heads and rockers? Sure.

    Blower and turbo? Sure.

    No one and nothing is going to stop you but your wallet/wife.

    Would I definitely need to replace my heads if I went with the rocker setup? Why do people remorse? I was thinking 1.9 modded rockers or maybe an XP Cam. I just don't know exactly what else would need to be upgraded to be able to handle that. What's the most I could get away with without upgrading my transmission?

    Not much.

    Sloppy build quality from factory and parts designed for 200 WHP (ie stock) means anything past headers and a pulley makes the trans a liability.
