THE BIGGEST MISTAKE YOU MADE WAS ASKING PEOPLE HERE WHAT TO DO....LOL

Do what YOU want, Of course its cheaper to buy a car done, but maybe you want to tinker and spend time in your garage building the car. Maybe you want the satisfaction of saying it built this myself, whatever the case...So people like to just race and not spend time building the car.

Best bang for the buck if you want a 10.0 car...Build it as light as you can, put a mild BB in it or a junkyard Gen3 if you can get one cheap. If you have a BB already, you can build a 10.00 car pretty easy and it will be reliable. Put a good trans, and rear in it, they will last you forever.

Good luck in your build !
