I want to go as fast as it will go and still be streetable. Some day I will eventually build a full drag car but for now street strip is what I want. I plan on having around 400 horse once my engine is done. That won't be for awhile but I should still end up around 275 to 300 sooner than later. as far as a torque converter goes I just have a stock one for now. Money is super super tight so its baby steps for me. I am not sure how to make the car lighter and still keep it a street car. I don't want to gut the interior and so on and loose the drivability. I think a 12 second quarter mile would be a great start and eventually I'd like to hit 10 second or so.
