full boltons will get you consistant 15 flat. I know this because around 30% of the threads in the v6 section say exactly this. in fact i believe there have been track times from bolton v6's posted in there or in street/strip just this week.

a good cam may get you comfortably into the 14s. but you wont hit 13s without extensive engine work (stroker kit, extreme heads/cam, basically not streetable) without a power adder or massive weight reduction.

3" piping may be too big for that, you may lose some back pressure and therefore midrange torque. but that is full boltons. intake and total exhaust. so 15 flat.

btw, im moving this into the v6 section so people will be more likely to help you with your questions.

k thank you. ill give camkid the heads up...
so what about 2.5 inch piping? i thought stock was like 2.75?
maybe someone lied to me or i dreamed that one.
and what kind of intake would yall reccomend?
i want full boltons but its hard to find one for my car.
besides sanding down the lid(homemade) what can i get?

2.25 is a pretty standard stock exhaust size
