What do you guys think of my 393 combination? Should I go with this or try something different? My thinking was more cubes but I have seen smaller motors making big hp with boost. What would you guys suggest?

8.8 is a stought rear end. I kept mine. With no issues.I like the idea of an N/A motor. I have had turbo cars before but they were a real pain to work with. The interior of the car is in pretty bad shape so I'm gutting it. I already deleted the ac and the p/s. I still need a tubular k member. Trying to make it as light weight as possible. What rear end would you guys suggest?
70 % of your stoping power comes from the front breaks that why I switch to 13" front disc. That's a good brand for the rear thoughI have found a kit that late model restoration sells that swaps to five lug and 4 wheel discs by SSBC. Not sure how much stopping power they have though.
This is correct for drag racing. But there is a fine line because locking up the rears at the finish line is a recipe for disaster. That doesn't mean that most of your brake bias should go to the rear, just more then normal. The fronts are still going to do most of the stopping (say 60/40) any disc brakes on the rear will do fine unless you really start pushing the power (like trapping 140+) in the 1/4 which is a deep 9 second pass.But if I go with big and littles wouldn't I need more braking in the rear?
