What will I need???

[New2Dsms]

Ok i just bought my 95 talon n/t and i am wondering what would i have to do to get it to be a high 14 low 15 second 1/4 mile car...So far i plan on getttin an intake,exhaust,header,bored out throttle body and get my intake manifold ported and polished. I really would NOT like to get into internal work too much as in new pistons and valves etc... How would a racing clutch and a lightned flywheel do? Also how much would street slicks help out???? Any help be greatly appreciated ...by the way id like to stay n/a

Every good gearhead should know this myth.

BTW, the Discovery Channel show "Mythbusters" featured an actual reproduction of this urban legend in an attempt to either prove or disprove its possibilities as an actual account.

Yep, and they actually proved it works beyond a doubt, thought the long distance required makes it utterly unfeasible unless your local drag strip is about 20 miles end to end.

There is no way in hell that the tires on that would be able to come even close to 350mph, they'd blow far before that

Eh, you could find tires rated for that im sure. On mythbusters they used some beat up old dodge i believe. It went by so fast they couldnt chase it with their helicopter
