Some concerns.....
I would recommend you post your initial build in the supercharged section.

I would recommend you upgrade your fuel pump. The stock one with a BAP will most likely not support your goals.
while you do the cradle bushings (do the poly -you dont need solid), replace the pump with minimum of a ZL1 pump and adm controller. You wont need the BAP unless running over 600-650 rwhp. The pump is cheap and easy swap. No E85.
The norm is just to go to a dual pump around 625.

Even if you dont race all out, the launch with your mods and Manual tranny will be enough to break an axle for sure and will wear out the differential. You need 1000hp axles by DSS (Level 4) or GForce. You can upgrade your Diff to a Eaton TT rated to 800rwhp or find a used ZL1 rear. If you dont run drag radials and allow more spin/slip, you may get by without breaking-just dont run too low tire psi.
while you're down there, retorque your driveshaft bolts.

Keep an eye on the fuel pressure during the tuning.

Good luck.
Tim

Glad to advise -would hate to see you run out of fuel on a WOT pull - cheap insurance.

sorry - I do not know weights of those two. You could inquire on the tranny section forum.

Well the next project I'm going try is making a noice deadening box for the oil return pump, this has been the only thing that I haven't really liked, the pump that came with the kit is known to be very reliable so I'm going try to make a box that will keep the pump well ventilated yet at the same time silence it down some.

Are you doing sub frame bushings? Sway bars?

I'm just doing the toe rods and trailing arms and the bushing at the end of the arm this time, when I eventually get a zl1 rear end I'll probably do the sub frame bushings

Next mods I will be adding is a light kit for the back seating area since in the verts there is no dome light in the middle of the roof and this is more to aid with putting my son in and out during night plus will allow him to see back there at night, the kit I'm going with will be OPT7 Aura Smart-Color LED Strip Interior Lighting Kit, I will also be switching out the interior lights to leds plus switching out the front driving lights out to led lights as well, as far as under the hood I will be relocating the catch can breather to eliminate any oil smell from it in the car and as well as I will be adding dynamat to the oil return pump, then after this I will need to add a drive line loop as well as new tires
