Anyone running a 470 in a dedicated drag car?

Hello friends, I've changed my mind on doing a street- strip car & will be building a race car, my project has been on hold a while & have everything for a 470 (400) ci with trickflow 240s. I'm thinking of selling my molnar crank & just going to the 4.250 stroke for 511 with my bore size.
Anyways, who's got a fast 470 that can talk me out of spending another $1000.00 for 40 cubic inches?
I have no useful info. other than to congratulate you on your decision to go dedicated drag car.
The street/strip cars that I see at the track are usually not set up for racing, and the ones I see on the street are only good when going in a straight line and are not very comfortable or driveable so you lose something either way.
