What is the "perfect" street/strip package......for the average Moparian

Light is right. I'm pretty much building what you've described with my 72' Scamp. I'm only at 528hp NA, but the motor was setup for nitrous.

There's no question a modern Hellcat, GT500, and ZL1 will beat me on power, but keeping it light will level the playing field.

Speaking only on the track......Don't forget that the hellcat is an very overweight, fly by wire, undertractioned, over geared, miss geared disaster. They aren't anything to be intimidated by in stock trim or even on drag radials. THe GT500's... those are not something to underestimate. I haven't seen many ZL1's run. They seems more track oriented to me. The best 've seen a hellcat go is low 11's. I've seen multiple GT500's run deep into the 10's and even the high 9's.
