Good luck! Your projected times sound doable with slicks. Remember, it is hard to get a manual to launch, even with slicks. You usually have to do a 5k or more dump to get one that is even geared properly to get it leave like an auto with a 3000 stall. With 5000 rpm + dumps you run into severe axle wrap issues if you don't have any traction divices which will break springs, housings, spider gears, axles, ujoints and driveshafts. Oh, and transmissions, pressure plates, rip the center out of clutch discs etc. I have been drag racing manuals for years and have broken all those items at least once and then some. A manual with 300 rwhp will break more drivtrain parts than an automatic with 600 rwhp.
