yo u could build a pretty quick machine for fairly cheap but its gonna boil down to how competive the other racers machines are and your available budget . 75 rear wheel hp might be a blast but if ever body else has 90+ and runs trick drag frames theres no point in it, id get a 4mill stroker or atleast run methanol or alky on the stock stroke cylinders . the most importaqnt factors i n the engine department are the porting, the pipes ,the head . engine wise yo uprobably wont have a compettive full tilt setup unless yo u spend atleast 1,800 (clutch, intake ,carbs, filters,reeds igintion,shift mods, high compression head )and thats not including the shearer pipes,perosnaly i would look at RDZ racing but shearers are also excellent ,I wouldnt use CPI .chassy id look at blaster or 300ex front shocks,homamde strut in the rear and lighten the stock frame alot by cutting and grinding and a mountain of elbow grease ,yo ucan get one down to like 25lbs from the 46 ,light tire/rim combo that hooks hard ,tall gearing with plenty of punch to pull it yo u wanna be low and narrow and light .i would run an exotic fuel blend to get the most of out it like alky or meth ebay usually hasd good deals on modifed drag carbs and extended swingers
