You also need to decide how deep you want to run under the index, that will also set a cap for how much money will go in your project. I will let the vet's chime in on all the other info. Just keep in mind that since your bracket racing, it not necessary to be fast. There's many dangerous drivers out there that have cars that don't go even 50 under the index(Dan Fletcher and Anthony Bertozzi come to mind at the moment). The super and modified classes seem to be a good place to hide with index slow combos. Maybe you could put together a SS/CS car. You only need to run 9.80's.
