Alright, my car has some light mods and I was looking for some advice. Right now it has ported heads, equal length shorty headers, 2.5 inch H-pipe exhaust, underdrive pulleys, advanced timing, and a CAI.
I think its making about 215-225rwhp right now. How much power would it make with a Trickflow track heat upper and lower intake?
Also, how much time would i be able to shave off in the quarter mile by switching from the stock 2.73 rear end to a 3.55 or 3.73?

The Track Heat intake is made for high-rpm power gains for race cars that stay high up in the tach. You will actually lose some of your low-end torque, if thats not the route you want to go, I suggest the Street Heat intake. I have no idea even what Trick Flow says the power gains are so I'm not going to pull a number out of my butt.
Switching to 3.55 or 3.73 rear gears will probably make the car feel a lot faster than what a new intake will ever do. If you do a lot of highway driving and are concerned about gas mileage and wear and tear you might want to go with just the 3.55s but they will still make a large increase in acceleration. I don't know how much time it will take off in the 1320, but if I have to guess I'd say half a second.
If you want my suggestion, I'd go for the gears first then the intake later.
