I could go on and on about whats better and whats not suspension wise, but thats not even the issue.

Anyway, I seriously think you should pretty much scrap your entire parts list. Its not that any parts you listed are bad, its just that they wont put you anywhere near your goal. If I was you, I'd get someone who knows their stuff. Not saying you dont, but when you wanna go 9's or 10's you cant just slap nice sounding parts together and hope they work. Theres a zillion tricks that go into it. I'd hate to spend $4500+ on a motor only to have it run 12's or blow up because I tried putting it all together without a lot of experience and know-how in the "9 second" world.

Keep in mind your talkin' 650+HP to run the numbers you want. If it was me, and I was rich, I'd take the extra easy way and buy a complete race motor from someone like Pat Musi or Scott Shafiroff ...mmm Shafiroff 434ci SBC making 600HP on pump gas, slap a nitrous fogger on it and maybe dip into the 8's. Of course, thats if you have $10k to spend on a motor, but atleast you know what you're getting and can pretty much drop it in and go knowing that if it fails you gotta warrenty. Of course, thats just one of the many ways you could go about it .... but if ya keep going the current route (with those selected parts) you'll come nowhere near your goal.
