You can get any car into 13's. if you are planning on making this a drag car i say take everything out of it (a/c, power steering, back seats) reduce the weight and then run it and see how it does now. Doing that with heads, headers, exhaust, and a 373 rear end (not to sure if they make that for the monte but something along those lines) should get you into 14's maybe 13's depends on how good the motor is now, with a good set of drag radials.you'll have more fun with the car if you run it as you make new upgrades to your car.

You'll never do it with the 305. At least not for a reasonable amount of money and you'll have no reliablity. Swap it for a 350 and go from there.
