Default Goal with my car and need some help getting there

Okay so i love to drag race my 04 SS and my best time was a 15.485 on a N/A 3.8. My only mods are flowmaster 40s, replaced the resonator with a magnaflow glass pack and a shift kit. My goal with the car is to run mid to high 14s so Id have a good chance running with the 90s/ early 00s gt mustangs. My future mods are wizairaid intake, bigger TB, zzp rockers, down pipe with cat and u bend delete, that HV3 intake insert, and MAYBE a tune. Does anyone think thats enough to get me to where I wanna be?
Thanks!!

When you do the rockers, get a better set of springs. That will allow your valvetrain tune to shift past 5900RPM and help your times.

That tune shouldn't be a MAYBE, but a definitely.

Where in PA? and when are you doing all of these mods?

I'm working on saving up for my own tuning software...

Else I would just get a mail-order tune and call it a day.

Boosted is an easy way to get where you are going with it. With all of those mods 14's might be there, but not easily.

These mods will be Taking place over the course of this year and it'll hopefully be done by next summer. The intake is on its way though

So you're about 45 minutes from me.

Let me get my HPTuners (and used to it) and we can have some fun later this year
