You won't need heads to get into the 10's, I didn't. You'll also need a nice set of slicks, and a beefy D/S.

You might want to move this to the Drag Racing forum, problably get more of a response there.

I'm hoping for 10.30-10.40's this year.

First, congrats on a successful deployment and thanks on behalf of us all.

You'll need some dyno time with someone who knows how to do software tuning, carolinaautomasters.com is in Durham, NC and has a great reputation. The parts/mods list you posted looks good, don't forget you'll need a roll cage going that fast at most tracks.
