auto or manual?
If its an auto look at the stall.. if its a manual look at the clutch because it will fry if its stock doing hard launches.
Also look at suspension, tyres and general grip..
Basically, what I have found is that the 1/4 mile is "launch" dependant. The better the launch, the better the time (within reason). If you can get the car off the line hard.. the ET willbe as good as the car can get. Most people seem to focus totally on power.. but its just one of many areas to work on.
I've found out the hard way with the VCT that sometimes there is no "easy" cam change so I've had to look at everything else. What I've discovered is that gearing, suspension and grip can actually make as much, if not more, impact as throwing another 20kw at the engine. Now I've gone down this path and got some results I can throw that 20kw at the engine at a later date and make it all work together.
