How would you build a low 10’s street car

I'm going to go a different route them everybody here. And will probably get scorned for it because it's not in the title.
You have no experience in these matter, right...........so go get yourself some!!
Start with a bigger camshaft,learn how to degree it in, to get the best of the cam. Then pull them hipo exhaust manifolds and put them on a shelf and install some headers.
Still vary street car, and a lot more fun........but you get your first taste of the trade off of the loss of bottom end torque for the increased rpm and power up top. AKA you got to slide that clutch just a little bit more then you had to before to get it rolling but MAN DOES IT SCOOT AFTER THAT.

When that becomes slow to you, and you want more....... time for some heads, bigger cam better tires and lower gear.
Now you have smiles for miles...........but the freeway is not so fun..........can keep up with traffic, but the radio need turned up to drown out your eng thats now reving 3500 rpm to do 60 mph.
Ease fix! Buy a gear vender(GVod) and drop that rpm back to a reasonable rpm on the highway.

So your great heads can handle a even bigger cam and it's still not fast enough. So max effort Roller cam goes in, alone with porting on them heads and new spring locks and retainers.......... you know by now that requires even lower rear end gears to make the combo happy. lower gear require more slick, which you have allread ground the lip off of your rear wheel well opening to accommodate the last tire upgrade. So now it time for tubs a leaf spring relocations(probably ss spring to cal tracks at this point) to get them big fat slick in there. You can't make all of this work right with then small exhaust pipe any more, and you headers are just to small. Big tube header and some small (LOUD)bullet muffler. because you just don't want to run 3.5 inch exhaust all the way back to the back bumper.

You can still drive it on the street, BUT street light to street light stomps is all the enjoyment you can get out of it any more on the street.
It has become a total annoyance to drive to the track at 3000 rpm even with the GVod and swapping from street tires to slick and waring out your lug nuts and stud....................Well it time for a trailer and a truck to pull it(It's still a streetcar......wink wink)
well it don't real matter because you made one pass and they kicked you off the track because you need a roll bar.............
ROLL BAR!!!!! well no! It time for a full roll CAGE!
By this time you would have already totally gutted you car so, street drive is only on warm DRY day because don't even have wiper blade.

The role cage has made you car feel much better at the track, but is slower because of the weight of the new roll cage.
Before you decide what's next to go faster you spin a main bearing if you lucky or throw the rod all the way out of the block.
You learn that the 340 (small block) can't turn 7500 and live with out some oil mod in the block to fix oil starvation issues.

So you build a stroker motor and have the heads ported some more, or go with a full race head. the 8 3/4 rear end chews every tooth off of the pinion gear and and cracks the side bearing cap in the process.

Time for a dana 60.......that will have new spring perches and tube/axles shortened to fit your combo.

With it being a stick shift car this step happened a long time ago!!!!!!!

This is called the slippery slope of DRAG RACING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
