So what would it take to get the ucf10 into the 12's. And be realistic please. I'm planing on building my ucf10 over the next couple years to get there. I rilly like the idea of having a 12 second daily driver. So far, I'm thinking ill need a good P&P, cams, titianum valves & springs, supercharger "not shure on wich one yet", MINE'S ecu, custom long tube hedders, full catback exhaust.

IMO, Forget the supercharger, you'll likely never get to the 12's on that car with a supercharger, or at least not as easily and it is much more expensive than turboing it... don't even worry about the rest of the stuff until you get it turbocharged... You could either single or twin turbo it, just depends on what fabricator you use and how you decide to run the exhaust... Probably going to need 350-400 hp at the wheels to get into the high 12's Your car probably makes 200ish at the wheels right now, we're talking a significant increase, but it can be done, for sure. Do some research - the transmission may or may not be able to handle that power...

So, the basics:
60-1, GT35 or similarly sized single turbo (or twin t3/t4's, GT28 sized or similar)
injectors
fuel pump
intercooler
standalone ecu (aem, tec3, etc), or perhaps a piggyback like an Emanage
all the extras to make that stuff work

I bet you can do it without any internal engine mods too...
