GUT CAT! or get a test pipe and a cutout for use @ the strip.
And yes, as already replied, must have a good SCANTOOL and aftermarket analog Boost guage (Autometer or VDO).

TUNE!

Good Luck.

BTW, all that should be good for 12.30's - 13.00 @ 106-110 mph depending on how you tune and 60'. This is also assuming there are no problems already existing with the car.

Congrats on the purchase!!! Most importantly get a scantool, scanmaster 2 or TurboLink are popular for us beginners! GoodLuck, Mike

Utilize the valuable archive feature of this websight. It's a great way to learn about potential issues you may face, as well as future mods for you're car.
Big on the Scantool idea also-great suggestion.

No changes can be made with these tools... other than clearing stored codes. What they do is play the events of the sensors at around one "frame" per second.

Place and order for V4.0 it is the best tool with the best technical support. But, you will need a lap top. I have over $1000 Canadian tied up in my TurboLink setup (all of the bells and whistles) and it is amazing. You can review your passes at the track, and make adjustments (manually)... and it has warning devices if things fall out of spec (kinda like the fast and the furious).

PS, you don't need NAWZ on these things any longer. Stick with the 200-4R and the 3.42s and you'll be laughing into the 11s... in time.
