11 second intake
Good combo. Just remember that all the HP in the world won't make good ET's unless you can hook it up! A few things to add to your wish list my 2-cents worth:
* Frame connectors with roll bar tied into them with bars angled down from the side of the main hoop.
* Cheap front OEM or good drag shocks.
* At least SS springs w/aluminum or poly front bushings.
* Rear drag shocks.
* Get the widest rim that will fit with the widest tire that will fit. (i.e.: 10" rims w/9" slicks)
* I like 4-hole or 4-hole tapered spacers over open, especially with a single plane. But a good dual plane will work well also. (Weiand Stealth, LD340, - not sure if the quality of the Crosswind is the same or worse than the original Air-Gap.) I tested a Stealth to a Holley Strip Dominator and the Holley was a little faster. But I have a LOT more gear and converter and stay over 4,900 after the launch. I wouldn't make porting the intake a high priority. Money better spent on other things as well as carb tuning.
* 750 DP should be plenty. A bigger carb may be harder to tune.
* When you do rebuild the front end, get an alignment at race weight including driver weight in the seat and the front raised at least 1" shooting for "0" or a teeny bit of toe-in. Poly strut rod bushings but good rubber bushings elsewhere.
