Where should I start?

Thanks for the input guys. I read the 12 second combo thread as suggested and I saw many ways to get to my end goal (And beyond). Over the winter, I will have to address a few leaks and ensure it passes tech, but I was working on that before and I think I’m pretty much there.

I really think I’ll run it exactly like it is for the first time out. Then I’ll get a true understanding of what my mods do to benefit my time and MPH. I will however build up that 8 ¾ housing I already have with a 4.10 SG center and pick up some drag radials because I know I’m going to want that anyway. Next I guess I’ll try shocks in the rear cause that will be pretty cheap I would assume. Oh and that driveshaft hoop sounds like a great idea too.

From there I guess I’ll get a strip kit for my Holley, a better timing light and see what I can squeeze out of this motor/trans combo.

I did remove the heavy back bracing behind my front bumper while putting the car together, but I guess I’ll have to look at places to shed weight that won’t affect street comfort as well.

I know how to check my convertor stall with my foot on the brake, but for flash stall, do I just floor it from a standstill and see how high the tach goes?
