Oh, you were asking for help. I see that now.
SFC's are a good idea regardless of engine, transmission, traction, etc., if the car is driven. My originally V6 car had cracks in the window corners from body flex.
What torque converter do you have? If stock, I don't see a traction problem for you because the engine will be a dog off the line.
Which type of Holley is this, vacuum secondary or DP? If DP, double the statement in the paragraph above.
The intake manifold seems to be a mismatch for the cam et al. It's going to have breathing problems on the top end, I would think.
You didn't quantify the weight shavings, but I would think that will make more difference in your times/speed than the engine mods as they are currently.
May not be what you wanted to hear, but that's what I was thinking when I first read your post. Now, go out there and run it, and let us know the results.
