With a race weight that low, you shouldn't have a problem hitting 10.0's with good suspension.

AJE k-member? Kooks or Dynatic 1 7/8" headers?

Congratulations for the great setup and I hope you reach your targeted ET.
I'm currently building a similar setup on a 1992 Mustang but with a 383ci stroked LS1 and AFR heads.

I hope to complete it within the next two months

Very similar to the previous setup I had. 383 afr 225 heads. I went to the track made two runs. No traction whatsoever as it was at the beginning of the year. 10.6 @ 129. 1.70 60' instead of 1.41's like it used to run from last year.

I have the new AFR 215 and I'm shooting for 10.9 NA and 9.9 with 200 shot
