aka high horse motor where the power cant be utilized that is good for bench racing and donuts

or a well built N/A motor making decent #s that has a good ET


this is probably over-simplified, but suspension is very important and i think suspension would help your ET more than the motor mods you're talking about

depends on what mostly is, but i think that if a stock 5.0 with suspention can get into the 12's then a 351 with suspention can hit low 12's with a good 60 foot.

I'd go suspension. I have been just buying stuff as i can, but if i had the money to do all of either one or the other i woulda done suspension first... after gears.
