Opinions on steup

I am currently rebuilding my 2nd gen Turbo II to be a Drag car, more of a 1/8 mile than a 1/4 mile since there aren't alot of 1/4 miles around here. I plan on puting a Turbonetics T-76 turbo, a HKS BOV, bigger fuel injectors, straight midpipe exhaust, bigger front mount intercooler, new intake, streetported to make up for the turbo lag, Atkins Rotary racing rotors w. 3mm apex seals, a dragline suspension, and bigger racing brakes haven't decided what brand yet, new plugs, new wires, new distributor, boost controler and turbo timer, I think that's about all I can think of now. SO what do you guys think, and what are some more mods you would suggest I do to the engine to get some more power gains?

Look at your rear end, (I'm not sure about the t2) but a first gen, when you go from 4.10 to 4.88 or 5.12 it throws you into the back of your seat and you stay there. No top speed, and hard on the freeway though.

Where do you do your research?

New "distributor"?
The stock 13BT doesn't even use one.
Are you going carb + turbo?

Bigger brakes?
Most drag racers go smaller brakes for a dedicated drag car.

opps, bad terminology. What I meant was "better breaks" and I meant new wires, I don't know why I put distributor, just reading off theusual replacement list and it slipped my mind. Came up with four more I forgot light weight flywheel, short shifter, new clutch, and if I can find one or have one made a light weight eccentric shaft.
