Engine recommendation - - - reality has screwed up my plans

Rick is right. It's all about traction. That was my main problem last time out and it really hurt my times which you see in my sig. I should be able to hit 12's with my engine setup, but I kinda went about my mods bass ackwards not starting with the suspension, but I really haven't added much stuff that wasn't needed. Almost everything I have added has been to replace a stock worn out part so I figured while I'm replacing this, I might as well do that, etc.

South Side lift bars help a ton. I have a buddy with them and his car will stick you in the seat from a good high RPM launch.

Just remember... there's always a weak link. Once you get the car able to launch at 5000rpm without spinning halfway down the track you can bet your @ss something else is going to go. Whether it's the tranny, driveshaft, axles, or whatever. So be prepared.

Good luck!
