I agree that 10.80 should be a breeze with that car and your W5 heads and a single carb, no need for any power adders. Another thing about the blower is that they are usually NOT consistant and you mentioned needing to run 10.80 like a bracket car.

You can tell by my PM's lately that I'm in the same boat with you on combo decisions, I've had ALOT of very nice trade offers for my Dart lately but I literally can't sleep at night thinking of which way to go. Big block or small block drag car, maybe a street car with no cage, maybe a tube chassis car, stick shift or overdrive auto, power adder or N/A, just go buy new Chally or Mustang,

Good luck with your decisions I'm sure you'll pick a great combo.
