Capone, thanks - my headers are ceramic coated already, but I appreciate the idea and any other suggestions for more cheap power.

mdmull - yes, please bring the trailer, I have heard about a few half-shafts snapping. I spoke with Reg Dodd about the BMW rear end, they have cars with 600hp using that and have had a couple broken diffs, but not too many. He thinks as long as I am not launching at a ridiculously high RPM, I should be fine - keep it below 3500. Hopefully that will still get me to the 11's. Oh, and by the way, 11.98 is fine with me! If I break it, I can fix it - change the heads and cam to get more power and launch at a reasonable RPM, if that doesn't work, there is always a supercharger or engine swap. Either way, 11 will happen sooner or later. I live 10 minutes from you, so you won't have to go out of your way to unload the trailer. Can't lose to a Nissan GTR!
