Look into a hipster brake. Griner is real nice but overkill.

Update:
I went with the extreme automatics billet valve body. I now have 5x more in the valve body than the entire transmission. I got an offer on the 88mm that was worth going for. I sold it and bought a borg warner s475. After I swapped it over I decided to switch back to efi, so I went with ms3 pro. Ran that for a while and sold the 355. Ended up buying ryan stouts 383 out of his fox body to run while I looked for a set of heads for my other 383. When I swapped it out I decided to buy a new converter and have it speced for the new setup. I went with a jakes billet triple disc lockup. I've been working on getting the tune right but hopefully will have it lined out before the shootout.
Since I switched from blowthrough to efi I decided to add methanol injection. I'm currently running two 625ml nozzles and thinking of adding another spraying on the inlet of the turbo. So far so good. I like the stuff. Been running 100% meth. Smells amazing. That's all for now

Thanks guys. I'm going to have to stick with this setup for a while. This will be the 4th shootout my car has been to and has had a different setup each year. I can't make any progress on the suspension/weight loss things I should be doing

I've been going down that road. At some point that weight holds you back in more ways than one.

Well I've fought opti problems for the last time. Had some issues on the dyno and decided I'd had enough. Installed a crank trigger setup and made a cam sync out of the guts of an opti. I still need to finish the wiring and eventually make a more rigid bracket to hold the crank sensor but it runs.
