    We could make a much more accurate idea if we knew what your car runs now. Drag strip time. if your looking for the cheapest then spray it. But stuff will brake

        Try going to Advancedinduction.com. It looks like they have several options for whatever budget you have. There prices look reasonable and its all done with heads,cam,intake. I have heard good things about these guys, the main being reliability, and all done with a stock bottom end.

              Don't forget to add $2,000 for a Ford 9" or 12-bolt. The lil' rear won't like running 12's for long.

                Ew... dont get ford products. Just use the Gm 12 bolt and change the gears if you must. as for going high elevens a 383 would easily get you there, if you just get a nice set of heads w/ a cam on the stock 5.7 ull pick up a ton.

                  You don't need a strut tower brace for drag racing. You do need upgraded pushrods to go with your new heads & roller rockers. You might oughta get a driveshaft loop and it wouldn't hurt to get a deep tranny pan if you don't already have one.

                  I might have some 30# injectors and new FelPro head gaskets for sale if you need them. The injectors have 1000 miles on them. PM me if interested - they're not advertised yet.

                    The Ford 9" is not just my recommendation, but many others, including Sam Strano. The 12-bolt, while being GM, is vastly inferior to the 9", and usually more expensive. They are also heavy, and harder to work on. The 9" differential comes out assembled, making it a snap to work on. I never thought I would say it, but Ford makes a better rear than GM, proven by the number of GM guys running around with Ford rears.

                    Heck, I ran a few laps around Pocono Raceway with one of those NASCAR experience outfits. I asked about the cars...all GM motors, however, they all used Ford rears...go figure.

                      some of those nice copper header gaskets, heads and cam should get you their. I like hooker headers, i just helped a friend put pacesters on his 97 and if anyone ever ask me to help again i will go running in the dark pulling my hair out if i already didnt loos it helping put them on. chromemolley push rods,
                      might as well do new timing chain and better oil pump. some head gaskets you can reuse i think cosmet.
