well here is a nice list for you to toy with:

1. SRT HFI/ECU ( intake & chip ) ( good for 30hp at the wheels)

2. Exausts system (borla is rated at 8 hp)

3. TC this will not add HP but will help you put the torque on the ground ( shaves 0.5 - 0.7 sec. of the 1/4 mile )

4. LSD ( gives better launchs and more control on corners )

5. valve body upgrade ( not sure what this does yet since no one has done it yet on there car )

well thats all I can think of right now for you if you want to keep your car N/A if you want forced induction the superchargers are available so are NOS kits

but with sugestion # 1,2,3 and the right tires and rims you will be getting well under 13.8 maybe some where around the area of 13.6-13.5

a trany valve body is realy only good if you are going to do a supercharger. other then that there is no need for it.

4. LSD ( gives better launchs and more control on corners )

Biggie:
What is the LSD modification ???? I've never heard of that.

LSD = Limited Slip Differential

refer to Subaru..."from the wheels that slip to the wheels that grip"

T66Supra

A valve body upgrade is usually done to increase the oil pressure in the tranny to firm up shifts (less slip), the firmer the shift the longer the tranny will survive at high HP levels. Excessive slipping will kill an auto tranny in short order, specially at higher HP levels.

A valve body upgrade allows extra pressure to enter the tranny. It is only needed if you are planning to go supercharger. This kind of part is not needed for use with a normally aspersed car.
