    Yes...it is like driving a Coke can around. Serious weight reduction, serious suspension setup.

    serious gearing, serious stall converter, I believe he ran on open headers if im not mistaken, etc. It took more then tuning to get him into the 10's.
    It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...

    Ok thats what I figured. Now if I'm hitting that with full exhaust/weight, I do some weight reduction, open exhaust, tuning and

    But I prefer the comfort/driveability

    if you can make your car light, its a good way to go. I am like you though, I like the extras, so I have to make more power to make up for the weight lol

    A tune is a tune. There might be stock internals, but there are boundaries which can be pushed in keeping that label. Things like retarding the cam, UD pulley, massive converter, full track suspension, drag wheels, gutted car, major intake mods etc.. Even then you are pushing the envelope, but that shoulf get you into the 11s easy enough.
