The suspension is already done and I have a good plan of action very similar to the one you described but budget is a consideration. I know I could throw $8,000 at it and make it go 12's, I want to try and sneak in a relatively cheap setup that is easy enough for Joe-Schmo to do and still use alot of stock parts and stay away from trick things like $400 throttlebodies. I'm gonna give it my best shot and we'll see where it falls in. If I go 13.2 so be it. I'm gonna also leave in the stock weight for the whole thing (roughly 3450 race weight I would guess). I went over my rough draft with my engine builder and he said it shouldn't be to hard to get 12's, even with a stock T/B with what I got. He only runs 305's in his race cars and he has gone as fast as 10.2 on a 4 BBl. I appreciate the input though, any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated also, depending on how the money goes I may even go with the Holley stuff. We'll see
