Ok here goes,.. this is how I would do it. Keep in mind that what I like does not mean you will like it, or that someone else might not like.
1) Lose your entire exhust. Especially your cats with no mufflers combo
Get a set of good full length headers like Mac or BBk. A set of off-roads and MUFFLERS. Turn downs or tailpipes. (will help out a lot on spray) 2.5 inch
2) how much are you spraying? Less then 125? Change cams. I don't like the B-cam! the E-cam will make you faster on motor but slower on spray. You can also just get a better cam all together! look into the Twisted Wedge cams or Comps Cams Extreme Energy series. Or go custom.
3)Suspension
Touchy subject huh??
mind you, this is what I would do, maybe a little to hard core for you, I don't know...but it works awsome!!!! not for corners though.
Eibach drag race kit. All four springs with the air bag. Lakewood 90/10's up front with 50/50 rear shocks. You can get adjustable too, just more money.
South side lift bars, with the battle boxes from Wild Rides.
REMOVE the sway bars (front and back)
All unwanted weight from the front if any.
Get a set of stickey tires or slicks.
Don't forget a driveshaft loop if you already don't have one.
3.73 gears or 4.10.
weld on Sub frame connectors
You get the idea.
The above mentioned kit hooked my 12.40 combo car off spray on the street leaving @5 grand with a 150 shot!!! Never ran it at the track on spray because I was a big street racer at the time. I believe the car was some where in the 11.30's to 11.70 range conservitively.
4) Heads
I hope your really getting something like Tfs or Afr's for that 331.
Theres more, but I am getting tired of righting this book!
You think your fast now, just wait till you really wake it up and hook!!!
I hope you know how to tune a car. If it is a 331 in a stock block there is no room for error on spray!!
Good Luck
