Default drag race project car

I want to do up a little project car for 1/4 mile drag racing. I have a lot of v8 history, but not much honda knowledge.
we have a stuska engine dynomometer, some serious data aquisition, complete automotive machine shop, with computerized boring, sleeving, sunnen ck10, sunnen vgs-20, hines balancer, access to a chassis fabricating shop.....
i am trying to research what the best combo would be.
i am thinking a mid 90's civic hatch, with maybe an integra motor, eagle stroker kit, 7.5 compression, darton sleeves, 30 lbs boost, nitrogen intercooler, a little squirt of nitrous, so my question is, what kind of transmision mods can be done, what is available to hook these little rockets up, who has the best (most versatile)
fuel management setup, i would like to control boost pressure with the computer
i'm trying to learn.... thanks lots!!

i dont know if you need to stroke it or not.. and that compression could be a little low, and just use a regular air/water intercooler

If ya wana get crazy you can run upwards of 11-1 on methanol for a turbo car. As far as trannies, be prepared to spend some$$$ if your gona make power. good luck

well, my thinking was that if the stock crank and rods would be marginal, and i had to replace with aftermarket, might as well squeeze some more cubes out of it.
what do you suggest? will the stock stuff live?
