1. yes, most parts now days are good parts as long as there new.

2. if you have the cash go fuel injected, it is the one thing i must have on my cars, all around better performance, (mpg, drivability, reliability) a good FI injection will cost around 3 to 6 grand.

3. i like 4 wheel indepented, drives better on street but is more expensive than straight axle. also weighs more than a straight axle. but for drag racing go straight axle more durable.

it comes down to money and originality and drivability
