Thats definately a good way to start exhaust and intake mods are always a good palce to go, 4.10 gears would probably be helpful as well, and then after all of that stuff is done, a good tune from pcmforless or madZ28 would help out as well. As far as other suggestions I'll let some of the others handle it-Dan

I think if you add gears you will be there. I had pretty similar mods, plus my car was lowered, except that I did not have headers or 1.6 rockers and ran a 13.68.
I think with a little better traction and those couple extra mods you'll be close. Not sure about high twelves though. More like lower 13's. A lot depends on the headers. But, every car is different.

you wont get into the high 12's without a cam and maybe some headwork, along with good headers, 52mm tb and the precise tune.

With those mods there I'd look for around a 13.4-13.6 there are a ton of variables. As thenudge876 said a tune would really help especially with the 1.6 rr's. If your thinking about doing a cam I'd hold off till you have the money for head work to go with the cam. Also some traction mods such as sub frame connectors, LCA's, upgraded panhard bar ect will really help lower your 60 footer and that'll reduce your e.t.1994 Firebird Formula, M6, Fan switch, 160 thermostat, Pacesetter LT headers, Morosso CAI, TB bypass, True duals.Comment

Ram air, free mods, assorted bolt ons, 1.6 rockers, SLP Shorties, Random tech high flow Y pipe, borla, aluminum driveshaft, 3.73s, suspension mods, tune, got me to a best of 13.0 at 107 on radials. That's with an automatic and a stock stall converter. Give me some ET streets and a 2800 converter and I'm in the high 12s easy.
Suspension work and sticky tires does wonders for hooking up.

13.410 @ 102.66 with A4 3.23 stock stall, stock heads & cam. My mph suffered alot due to knock retard pulling timing. Previous best was 13.466 @ 103.85 w/a 2.078 60' pulling timing from 93mph through the trap. I think if I could finally get the knock issue resolved 13.2's would definately be possible with what I have now.
Finally found the right settings for the rear suspension to hook.
Front end is lifting pretty well.
