Well for next year, I will be dropping a 306 in the car. I am going to get a custom cam from Ed Curtis when I find out what intake and heads Ill be going with. My goal for next year is to run a 12.5 N/A and 11s with nitrous. I going to buy a aftermarket k member to lose some weight off the car and suspension will be good to go for next year. My budget is around 2500-3500. Let me know if you need more info.
Well Jesse
Since your goal is et related ........
As I see it ...
The first thing you gotta ask yourself is
How committed you are with the whole drag strip thing?
IMHO ... You could obtain a mid 12 sec et with less than 300rwhp
but
You gotta be willing to do up things to be very effective with 60 foots
You know ... suspension, slicks, beef up the trans & rear end
Honestly ... even though you are a bit heavy being a Vert and all
Those Edel heads should take you to 12.5 and better as I see it
if
You have the ability to drive it really aggressive without it breaking
Now ... On the other hand ...........
If you don't wanna go all that far with your drag strip setup .........
You have no choice other than develop more horsepower
