Automotive Catch 22 - wtf

You hit the bricks without enough information to get you anywhere. This is where "Make a plan" ( & stick with it!) comes into play. Most factors are known already. Here is how we start to make the plan ....

How fast do you want to go in the 1/4
What do you want from your car?
Street, street strip (% of street vs strip)
Or race car?
Oh I definitely have a plan. I'm just trying to figure out what parts to get. I plan to make it a weekend warrior but I will have to drive it to the track. I MIGHT drive it to a local show or get together once in a great while but my main goal is to burn up the drag strip...within my limitations.
