I think your going to need full exhaust, 4.10's, converter, shift kit, control arms, subframes, and drag radials. Basically you wouldnt even really need to touch the motor to make it a rea close race. I've been in a few auto's that have the previous mods and they are FAST. with sticky tires a good susp. and a setup trans you will stay with him off the line and with the 4.10 you wont fall on your face as bad once you get into third! good luck man
