Remove AC, PS pump, smog pump, go electric WP and electric fan and run a short belt from your crank to the alternator. Minimum drag. Put underdrive pullies on the remaining crank and alternator. Then get roller rockers, synthetic oil and get a SMALL not a large carb. Like a 500 or a 570 for THROTTLE RESPONSE.

The 1050 deamon will make the car an utter dog. It will barely run until you spin it up to a few thousand.

You could get an aluminum flywheel. That would help/hurt you....

A supercharger might help a little bit. Not too much though, just a little.

Run DMC as loud as you can make it on a continuous loop.

i like the underdrive pulleys and flywheel ideas. the problem with a heavy flywheel is it takes time to spin it up to higher rpm's. with a lighter flywheel it will spool up quicker if i can use that term. getting rid of paricitic drag by going to under-drive pulleys will also help with reving quicker. don't forget gears. 411's will rev quicker then 273's. personally i found that my 373's are a great gear.

Just take your belt off the tensioner and see how differently it reacts with zero accessories. Just dont leave it off too long or you'll have a dead battery and overheating engine. You can get a forward rotation WP (83 tbird 302) for Less than $20 reman, proform elec fan for $120 and a new belt for $40 to bypass everything else. Not much $$$.

FLywheel won't do much, it is the 12" converter attached to it that makes it heay. Get a 9"

i see there are alot of things that will make the 5.0 rpm snap when hit the pedal a 9" converter would be nice less rotational mass on the front and rear of 5.0 !
