Got the new dragster home, been going over everything and making notes of what I still need before heading to the track. When we put the motor in the car we did not set it up with a vacuum pump, but was wondering if it is worth putting one on it? I am also looking at an alternator, and a few other things more for aesthetics than function, but some things I have always wanted on a car like a digital dial in board and a rear wing.

Wing and digital dial board will be the last things I do for sure but with buying a new house and moving I will not likely see the track until fall anyway, so I have time to get the car the way I want it before it ever goes out. Headed to the engine shop later this week so I guess I will be picking up a vacuum pump. That should give me something to do for a day or two.

A vac pump is nice, but is by no means a must-have. I'd personally rank your listed items:
1. Alternator 2. Digital dial-board (if racing alone) 3. Vac pump 4. Wing Although, if you're ever going to do a wing I'd do it before you run the car so you won't notice the ET loss.

The wing can be a problem in windy conditions. New car... I would get it sorted out and baseline it before I added a wing.JMHO
