HP vs ET vs seat 'o the pants

Banshee, I think you are on the right track. IMO, those are great choices for engine blocks. A stroked, carb'd 351W high comp (and nitroused) for the all out drag 9-10 sec drag car and a low compression, blown EFI 351W or 302 for the street car that runs high 12s to low 11s. After you've saved up, you'll need to spend a few months planning.

I guess I'd start planning for the slowest one first. Check out companies like DSS, CHP (and other places that build long/shortblock combos), AFR, TFS, Procharger, etc. Order their brochures, ask around at the local dragstrip, etc. Get a combo together and then post it up here and get opinions then rethink as needed. Takes time if you want something that's solid and well-done (ie, well-planned).
