SBC Combo advice Drag Race combo.
Hello all.... been out of the industry for about 10 years.... got the itch back and bought a car. Ill break down the car and the parts I have... Any help with what to buy next is greatly appreciated. The car is set up for 10's. Had a 388 13:1 vortec heads and ran 11.90 Strictly trailer only.
1966 Chevelle pretty much gutted... no tubs. Lexan windows, glass fenders, hood, trunk, bumpers. Engine set back 8"
400, transbrake, 4500 stall (will change stall if necessary)
12 bolt 4.88 spool 10.5 slicks
guessing with motor 2500#
Engine parts I have:
Dart Pro 1 Heads #11521122 215, 64cc, 2.05, 1.60
Probe rocker shaft system
400 Block Stock 4.160 4 bolt Block filled(will change if necessary)
Factory steel 350 crank. (will change if necessary)
2" Headers.
Full studs
Moroso drag pan
850 BG carb
1150 Dominator (been worked on, dont know how much... but flows 1180)
Thats about it.... not much, but a start. I live in the middle of nowhere, so internet parts are my option.
Id prefer motor only.... have access to good gas, no nitrous.
Id love to go turbo, but never messed with them. Simple reliable options. Ill run it at Bakersfield or Vegas (closest to me)
Any help would be appreciated greatly. Ive been reading the posts, but havent figured anything out.

How much hp do you need, what fuel to run?
I had built:
350 main bearing block ( Dart )
compstar crank w 4" stroke
4.165 bore with je pistons 14.7-1
pontiac 867 heads victor jr 4500 intake
alcohol injected
vac pump
aprox 800 hp
(note heads ported by self at 350 cfm intake at .700 lift )
should be a good combo
