First Time Drag racing

I think the peak power is 5900 and I'll definitely be digging into the carb. Thanks for the advice on the ignition, save some bucks there. I am unsure on what clutch is in it because it was in there when I bought the car 5 years ago. What do people normally go with to fix the shifting if it turns out to be that? Also do I need to run the 3/8 fuel tank sender or will the stock one work for now?
