mshred, didn't you see my track results thread & the wimpy *** combo i'm running :read2:, i'm running on 87 octane, through the mufflers & shifting at 5200, pulling 12.5s, with just alittle tinkering it'll run a 12.4 i'm sure, if not a 12.3, do you realize how easy it'll be for me to get my car running in the 11.9 range at this point, just alittle more stall, a decent cam (nothing crazy) & a larger carb, & it'll still run on 87 octane & run the #s, but if i want 11.5s & not touch anything engine/tranny wise, a 100 shot will get me there & not even faze the engines internals, its very easy to pull this off in an A body, to simplify things, stay away from PS/PBs & AC, lighten up the car abit like racing seats, but still keep it comfortable, & either get a light weight disc set-up or stay with 10" manual brakes all around, if i ever start running around 108+ i'll start running 1/8 mile & no more then the 1000ft. with the manuals, what i like about them is theres no drag like factory disc brakes & alot less weight.
