Default Back on Forum, quick question.....

Hi everybody, I've been un-registered for a while and just got high-speed at home. I was on as TheJackel a year ago, but I guess it's taken now
Anyway, I drive my car when the weather is nice (no snow, rarely in the rain) and am looking for fast street 0-60 times. I'm going to add Nitto555r 305s (should help). I also "race" it at Bandimere (6000 feet up). I'm looking to mod it to beat stock '05Viper, '06Z06??, and MOST IMPORTANT - any rice! (the stock STI and EVO both kick a stock Vette's butt up here by about 1/2 to 3/4 second )
I'm thinking FI (no NOS), forged engine (for up to 500rwhp), and full exhaust/tuning. I'm wanting to take it to A&A, but I'm concerned about tuning and recalibrating for mile-high. I figure if I can hit 12s (its in the mid 14s now)and 550+ crank HP, that should do it. Looking to max out $$ at under 15,000 for just power mods (I know, the clutch will be on borrowed time!)
What do you think? TIA
