Default how do i get to 12+sec quarter mile times

i want to get as close to 12 sec quarter mile times as cheeply as possable and still get decent fuel milage out of my 06 , i currently have a juice /w additude and 4'' turbo back straight pipe going to do a intake soon.
what else do i need ? im sure ill fry the trans but i still have 40k miles of warrentry left , so whatever i do i kinda need to be able to undoo in a couple of hours .
also i seem to be getting what seems to me whorable milage 14 to 16.5 . i am running 35'' tires . can i get better , or is it ggoing to get worse?

Good luck doing reliably for less then $12,500 And I dont see you doing it anyway that will allow you to still have a warranty. And I dont see a Stock tranny doing a 12 sec run.

im sur einjctors wouldnt hurt either!!!! and most ikely you;ll be getting worse gas mileage running 12's... it also wont be the most reliable thig either.. a god start, and something to keep the warranty would be cold air intake, exhaust, programmer (bullydog/smarty) and injectors. those things right there add at least a good 150 horsepower... easy to install/easy to remove....

Transmission, Transmission, Transmission!
Smarty, TST stack seems to work really well. Bigger turbo, injectors & did i say transmission?
If your worried about your warranty then you might as well forget about your plans.

For your transmission Call Goerend Goerend Transmission Incorporated and ask for Dave. you will most lickly have to leave a message for him but he will call you back. be 100% honest about what yuo have done, what you plan on doing, and what the truck is for. He will get you set-up. Wont sell you stuff you don't need and he stands behind his products. I'm running soem of his stuff and it is awesome!

Thats what "sticks" are.. just another name for Injectors.

Its always good to go Gauges and Trans first.. I know that we all wanna just plug and play and go fast, but the first thing to wear out is a Trans. Gauges are a MUST.. you MUST have some way of monitoring your vitals.
