you have weird terminology on teh east coast. Or are you from australia?

I googled it and figured it out. Id guess the best bolt on would be nitrous.

Based on my google search, it looks are though you are asking about people with bolt on mods, excluding forced induction.....?

Well if you're just talking about putting a lower restriction exhaust, more efficient intake, chip, headers (?) maybe a 50 hp/tq gain? So probably drop the 0-60 by half a second or so and the 1/4 by a second or 1.5 secs? Another good way to improve acceleration is to reduce weight, getting rid of panels, seats (but then you would lose the luxury and practical side). That might drop you another .5 sec to 60 considering all the weight the 430 lugs around. So without F/I, my best guess would be very high 4s to low 5s to 60.

EDIT: I may have to correct myself a bit after seeing this:
http://www.autoblog.com/2011/02/09/c...-charger-srt8/

It's a rundown of the new SRT8 Challenger. Yes, we can spend all day knocking crappy Chrysler build quality, but 465 hp/tq is nothing to scoff at. This car weighs similarly to the LS430, but has a whopping 175 hp more...and is expected to do 0-60 in the high 4s and the 1/4 mi at 12s. I may have to drop my prediction numbers down a bit. OP is this something you're planning to do? If so, what parts are you thinking of upgrading?

i plan on getting Intake Headers and exhaust 1st..I would love to know what that would do in a 1/4 along with dyno #s,just to have an idea of how fast it will be.

Then later on work towards the greddy S/C.
