*recipe

No borla. Get something cheaper unless your made of money. A cutout, or true duals both cost less and flow better. No JBA shorties. Go with a good longtube or midlength (AS&M, MAC, Jet-Hot LT, Pacesetter LT)

Good heads... the ported lt4s will do the job, but NOT from SDPC. Try lloyd elliot, or advanced induction. TB is good. Big cam is also necessary... if you want to go 10s on motor you'll need a pretty stout cam. I'd get a custom one made for your goals.

Converter... while 3600 vig is a good verter, for a 10 second car on motor, you'll need more converter, suspension, and the tires to launch the car.

And of course, edit and lots of dyno tuning

I would recommend some AFR heads. You can run AFR 210s without offset rockers or lifters. Ported they flow great across your lift range.
