Inputs on a home built 318 for red light to red light fun

Your original combo ain’t to far of the mark just your earlier obsession for 7500-8000 rpm :) seems like you need a better intake and maybe cam, what was is the spec’s of the cam ? What’s the target cr ? Just get those 3 things right and you should be there.
Ok so I really like the idea of the racer brown 273 d/stock camshaft and as for intake if I can dig up cash I would go 2x4s or tunnel ram only im not sure of when those intakes where introduced as for cr I'd like 10.1 minimum that is my I can handle that cr
