Looks like a pretty good set up to me. Are you going to just make it a street/strip car or a daily driver? I'd probably go with 3.55's or 3.73's in the rear; I think you'll find them a little more fun. Also, I'd probably step up to a tremec transmission just for the extra strength in case you decide to go with more power later.
