Contemplating a new (ish) direction

What are the plans for the car? That’s what would help me decide which way I would continue to build it. If you just want a cruiser, stick the low comp 408 in it and go have a good time. If you’d like to race it and actually go fast then the high compression 418 on e85 with boost is the direction I’d go. Make a plan, stick to the plan, execute the plan.
I want a drag car that happens to be street legal.

You think 12: 1 with e85 on boost would be doable?

Might be a possible evolution.
