Thanks for the responses guys. Mark, your V8 setup looks great.
Here are some specs on my car:
Here is what I have now:
Engine
327 SBF( 4X3, still has stock bore)
R302 short block built by Keith Kraft
Older Style AFR185 heads with upgraded Brian Tooley springs Ti retainers
8.5:1 Compression Ratio
Totally stock Edelbrock Performer RPM2
75mm Accufab TB
226/226 - .545/.545 - 114 LSA custom cam
Precision 74mm Turbo with the “GTS” turbine, .81 AR ratio
3.5in downpipe to 4inch exhaust.

Car

4:10 gears front and back

The car is not light; it weighs about 3500lbs with gas but without driver.
As the car sits, my best time was an 11:008 @ 128.5 with a 1.7 60ft and 15lbs of boost on 93 octane pump gas.
Here are some pictures:
If you look at this group A square beam, it looks like the mounting points are much higher then stock.
Thanks,
Tim
