Default GSR Increase speed

Im being told putting a cold-air and headers will take my GSR from a 15.3-15.6 runner down to a 14.8-15.1 on the 1/4 mile. is this true? or are kids giving me bullshit. If it is true, any particular reccomendations on a type?

A set of drag radials would be more useful in lowering your ET's than those worthless mods will. Work on your launch and keep those 60' times as low as possible and you can hit low 15's (possibly high 14's) on a stock GSR.

Is your only goal to shave a few tenths of a second off your ET?
What kind of times are you running now?
How much do you want to spend?

My goal is to make my car faster. And I have not been to the track yet. And I want to spend as little as possible. Meaning no turbo.

Nice job being as vague as possible.

Learn to drive it first, then modify it.
