Marty, don't overlook the cheaper (than headers, down pipe, ported head) things like pinion snubber, better rear control arms, seat brace. This stuff will help you launch better. Also, convert to electric fan; get a big mouth cold air intake, and dual exhaust to go with that downpipe. Also, new floor mats don't hurt either.

Post 23 in the sticky has a link to recipe's.
Search pinion snubber, girdle, turbo, headers, DP, heads, E85, pump etc etc. LOL
