Welcome to FABO Jim, You've got quite the menu there, to go mid 10's even with a stroked 440 is going to cost some mulla. Keep in mind that it's not just the engine it's also the tranny, rearend, subframe mods, cooling ups, suspension, brakes, and probably most important traction upgrades otherwise you'll just melt em down. Lets start with how much you plan on spending and what does your dart allready have along the lines of the aformentioned requirements (God I always wanted to say that, makes me sound important).
