yes it does. If it didn't, you wouldn't even be asking on this board, you'd be handing your car and 20k to a performance shop. I know it's a kill joy, but you need more realistic goals to accomplish anything in this hobby. A DIY high-performance build-up with a real-world budget takes more time and energy than most people, even on this board, can spare. If you took a survey of this entire board, I think you'd be surprised at how few people are actually running in the 12-13s ET range. Most of us have to be happy with maybe aftermarket suspensions and a moderately-difficult (for us obd0 and obd1 folk) b16 swap. Take a good look at your budget, your daily grind (Sometimes I REALLY don't feel like wrenching after 8 hours of standing on my feet) and how much you love to drive your car.
