Jim, you are right. If you put the best of everything that you've mentioned into this combo it wouldn't be a "Dime Rocket" but it would be one very fast car. This combo is so good that it could be built (very easily) without using the best of everything and would still run well under the index.
I'll bet that this combo shows up at Indy and qualifies easily in the top 10.
