Not Ranked
A TKOII would be a good start although that's beginning to get iffy with your claimed 468 ft/lbs on a hooked up launch.
Let the folks at Currie put you in a 9+ rear end with their axles. If you break that setup, I'd be amazed. An Auburn limited slip wouldn't hurt. Some Yukon's at 3.50 or 3.73 should be about right as you are 2300-2500 lbs off the line.
And remember, this is a 90" wheelbase car. For Pete's sake...keep it straight and DO NOT TRY TO RECOVER a run that begins to need steering correction. Get out of the throttle!
The NATOPS manual for an F-4J mandated you eject ANYWHERE below 20,000 feet when in a flat spin. I knew I could recover...the manual had to be wrong. I was wrong. Thank God for a flight simulator and too bad we dont have them for these cars. 5:1 weight to horsepower ratios - and less - arent for the inexperienced or the overly enthusiastic.
I would think with this setup you should be SOMEWHERE in the low 11s to mid 12s... depending on altitude, track, temperature, tires, fuel, and........driver.
