Budget drag car… B-Body or A-Body?

I’ve built A-bodies exclusively over the past 15 years. I know them very well. Understanding that I’m posting this in an A-Body forum, are there secrets about the B-Body platform that give it an advantage at the drag strip? If you were given a super strict budget, which components of each platform would you be looking at? *strict as in <5k*
