wanna make a good drag car?

put a manual rack, Find a salvaged ls1 with harness. Buy an AJE k member with chevy motor mounts. get a 4l60E with your ls1.

I dont know what your means are or initial budget, but Toss a 3500-4k yank stall converter in there. Do full exhaust and a tune. You will already have a consistant 11 second car on drag radials. From here you can put a bottle on it for 10s, or do heads cam and fast intake and make mid 400s through the auto at the wheels. That is going to scoot in a 2700 pound car, which is what you should have.

I say a stock ls1 is a good start for the car. You can make it faster and faster from there. The stock rear will also survive A LONG time with the auto in front of it.
