But, forced induction, either a friggen huge blower or huge turbo. Cam swap, turbo, exhaust, intake, and nitrous, headwork, slicks n skinnies. And thats just the obvious stuff. Got all kind of supporting mods those things need to work well and reliably. And you still wont be 10's probably.

Let's not forget the faux chrome vents, lol. If he gets the single style that adds 10HP per fender. If he does the round Buick style vents that 10 per vent so that's 30HP per fender. The chrome door trim helps with aerodynamics. Also the chrome window tiny keeps it cooler inside so he can set his AC on a lower setting and not lose so much power there either. It's gonna be wicked fast.

I can't believe you only bought one! My whole back window is loaded with them and a couple "turbo powered" stickers.

5k you won't be near 10s, you could go the ghetto route an just toss a huge shot of nitrous at it but don't expect anything to last

13's are possible with 5k. You might squeeze out a 12.
