#2 Tuner
#3 Tires

Driver, Self explanatory they probably drive a stick like me.

With the tuner part of it, Ive seen cars make a ton of HP and couldn't get out of the 12's and if its an auto its worse because if the PCM is controlling the shifts your tuner better know his stuff or you can run 12's with 10,000 HP. you've been to mustang week, most those guys spend 2 days shining the tires and doing dyno pulls only to come to Darlington on drag night where every cobra and gt500 runs 14's.

Tires..... everyone knows good years and nitto's are traction gods......NOT
