id go with the big block, especially if you have one allready.. and never mind the people going "you cant hook this or that" if you build a big block thats capable of 1500 hp, there is no law that states you cant leave the line at a reasonable rpm.. or limit boost in first gear...

Seems like I never spent enought attention to your posting.

I see it the same, I can leave sensitive but can use the power later lets say from 80 to 150 or something.

1000hp seems to be more than enought but meanwhile I had a lot of toughts towares better traction like:

going with an all aluminum block
relocating the block back as far as possible
using a fiberglass hood
rear mount radiator and battery and everything else that adds weight will be mounted in the farest place back in the trunk
using a Jakes Rod Shop subframe with shockwaves. That frames allows me to get any tire-width I want to go in the rear.

in sum that should improve my traction a bit.

I people mean by hooking that I leave from a dead stop with no wheelspinn under full throttel than it wont hook but all the things I will do will have an effect I think....
