ok well my goal for now is 300rwh and some 12's... do you think with my set up i am close, if not what else do i need....

fresh308

edelbrock rpm 2.02 heads
fms1.6 rockers
tfs stage 1 cam
cobra intake
65mm t-body
73mm c&l
24lb injectors
190pump
shortie headers
full mac exaust
pullies
3.73's
subframe connectors
c4 tranny with 2500 stall w/break
nitto's that hook!!
maybe some other little stuff im forgetting... what ya think?

i know i really need it dyno-tuned for my max output but i wanted to see what it could do against my buddy who runs constant 12.7's,,
i killed him out of the hole but in 2nd he pulled me by nearly 3 cars and it stayed that way to around 115...so i thinking that puts me near a 13flat or so.. i know its not the best way to determine what i will run but i really was dissapointed in the outcome

the 70mm t-body will help most at top end i assume... in the higher RPMs.

what are your 60' times? you seem to have a nice setup, times should be there. whats your mhp? stock H pipe or something aftermarket??
