Critique my planned combo

The pinion snubber makes a nice door stop.
I am also using SS springs , but if I had the ability to start over , I would definitely go with CalTracs.
I am considering ladder bars now , because I still have the back seat in mine and don't want to cut it up any more.
An adjustable 4 link is the cat's fanny , but at the h.p. and e.t. levels you are looking at , I don't see it as must have.
A diet is as close to free gains you will ever get , and since it is gutted I'd commence to losing window regulators , lightening doors etc.
Glass hood is always a nice touch.....bumpers and deck lid......pretty soon you are knocking on 2800 lbs.
The Dana - 8 3/4 debate is a lively one.
I personally would do a 9" before a Dana because I have a lot of experience with them and like the versatility of ratio swaps etc.
What will kill the 8 3/4 fastest is a hard leaving HEAVY car.
Over 3000 lbs. , this becomes more of a concern.
Sub 1.50 60' launches happen all the time with light cars and 8 3/4 rear ends......but they are usually well prepped.
