4.56 gears are to deep for your cam, you'll run out of rpms before you reach the end on a 1/4 mile track, 1/8 they'll work. 3.55s would probably better. If you're going to have a special third member "just for racing", go with a spool. lighter and stronger. Just don't run it on the street or you'll break your axles.
put a good shift kit in your trans if you have a auto. Go to 225/60s and watch your thread pattern, run about 24 lbs air in them and undo the front sway bar, "only at the track". what's your timing set at?
