Young and dumb is how lol. Was in the process of learning how to speed shift, Catching 3rd was a bitch without letting off the go peddle.
I have a 4" aluminum driveshaft, 4.10s with a locker, and c clip eminated axels. Im sure tranny will be coming down the line soon!
I have done quite a bit of research, over the last few nights, and man things have changed in the last 6 or 7 years. Now looking into a stage 2 trickflow cam. Anyone have opinions on them? probably going to try and pair it with 1.6 rockers, twisted wedge 170cc heads, and a 75mm throttle body.

Ref. to jthorn9's post.
+1 ^^^ , "IF" you have an unlimited bank account. But "young and dumb" usually means young and poor lol. That build would be nice if you had 12-15k laying around.
I believe you can do a reliable, stock block, 400 crank hp build for alot less. And keeping the rpms down to a respectable level, meaning under 6k, and it'll last a long time. And a T5 will last awhile as long as you respect it as a weak link, treat the shifter like tempered glass, and stick with street tires.
BUT, if your going to keep doing "young and dumb" , then you'll be better off with jthorn's advice.
