Default dakota vs suburu

Ok so I have a 1/4 drag race comming up, my dakota vs a low 12's suburu legacy AWDwith LOTS of mods with old tranny, he now has a race tranny an hasnt ran it yet. We are racing for 1000. I have plety of money to put in my truck for I am in iraq right now and come back next month to the states. I now have on my truck the following, vortech supercharger, powertracx rear diff, shift kit, 2200 stall, headers, hi perf cats, flowmaster 40's. Now i want to put on my truck heads, cam, rockers, new comp, wider tires, traction barsan some gearin like 4.10. I wanted to ask you guys what have you done that works an will make my truck quick, i want to keep the 5.2 in ,an not motor swap it. So any info or tips would be awsome.

Only tip i have is don't mess an even lightly modded scoobie. I have done a few and they will kill you. It's all about HP vs weight. as Collen Chapmen said, add lightness.

I would pull the motor. I know you dont want to. and get a 360 stroke it to a 408 and get all forged internals and add a 300 shot of nos. then it will be a closer race. how much is in your budget for all these mods? and do you have a reg cab or a cc
