What will it run With new winter changes (long)

I dont post here much, but I visit here often.

Ill give you a run down on the lil truck, and what changes I made over the winter.

Last season
493 cub rb 12:1 compression, CNC'd 440-1 flow 380cfm big port around 360cc, single plan indy with dominator adapter with a 8896 1050 dominator. Cam is pretty big 280@50 with .790 lift using 1.7 jesel rockers. T/A converter that seemed tight. tires was 28x11 with 4.56 gear stock 8 3/4 axles, and 741 case Caltraks were used. The truck was a pig out of the hole with a 1.46 best 60ft but ran 110 mph in the 1/8th. I actually ran better down low before I changed out the custom .650 comp cam, and non ported heads, but only ran 101 mph, in the 1/8th, you can imagine the mid and top range power the truck has now compared to before. The best it went was a 6.35 at 110mph. This truck is all steal and weighs 3200+ 300 lbs driver I sent the converter out to PTC for a freshn and loosen up 500 rpms

Over the winter, I figured the old 8 3/4 needs to be upgraded, so I swaped in a strange equip'd Dana 60 35 spline axles, pro race spool, and a set of 4.88 pro gears, I race 1/8th mile only.

I backed half'd the truck my self using 2x3 box tubing, stuffed in some qa1 coil overs rapped around strange single adjustable shocks. I used 32 inch ladde bars from Jegs, they have the link adjustments, also. I figured this truck need to 60ft in the high 1.3x to be right.

I also added a new tranny with a Tranzact pro brake, and a 10 point roll cage, because they told me not to come back wereing just a stock seat belt

The headers are hand me downs that were custom units fitted for a big block a body, they had a short primary tube maybe 26 inchs and a primary tube of 1 7/8 , collector was a 3 1/2 inch. I swapped them out for another set of hand me downs that have a few exra inchs of primary tube maybe 28 or so, and have 2 inch tubes with 3 3/8 collectors.

Im praying with the changes I can go some 6.o's but will be happy with some teens. Weight remained close to the same. +- 25 lbs.

So to wrap it up:
conveter loosend 500rpms
trans brake, and better shifting tranny
17/8 headers to 2 inch headers
roll cage
ladder bars, and coil overs
4.56 gear to 4.88's
