When you are talking about that kind of racing you need to look at the cooling system, oiling, and matching the best and strongest bits that you can by. Read up on some of the Failures at the Texas Mile. Its scary what long runs at high speeds do to a car.

Turbo or Supercharged your limited to the heads, for prolonged boost a 6 bolt head would be ideal but that requires a matching block. Other then that an aftermarket head with a thicker deck would be the next choice. Anyway you go convert to head studs.
