Your car is setup for OBD1. That means look for an obd1 dist, alt, etc.
As for your 1/8 vs 1/4 analogy...sorry bro it makes no sense. How can you compare 1/4 mile numbers to 1/8? With slicks and good suspension you can eliminate excess wheen spin.
3K budget -
Slicks = $300+
Wheels for slicks = $375
Omni Drag Coilovers (Read CHEAP) = $900
Let's not forget you now need a camber kit for the front and rear, and LCA's for the rear, might as well do suspension bushings while you're at it.....
So much for 3K..... You've eaten 2K in the suspension..... You'd be borderline. The motor mods needed - well......
(Yes, you can spend time and shop used, we all do it, but the point is the stuff ain't cheap, and buying used suspension parts, for most, is taking your life in your hands when you're planning to run 100 across the other end!)
