Thumbs up Slow Snake

OK, I have to chime in here with the least amount of HP on a close-to-stock 351ci engine and a virgin tracker, I need to drop 1.8 seconds to get into the 11.5 club. I figure a make-over with aluminum heads, big cam, new carb, set of pistons, new tires, etc. probably in the vicinity of 5 to 6 grand would do it.
By the time that gets done you guys will be in the 10 second club and 6 grand will buy about 500 cases of beer, guess where my priorities lie?
Thanks to Jerry's advice after my virgin run, I bettered my 2nd run by almost a second and increased the speed by 3 mph.
