Re: THE beginning
Does your car have aftermarket UCA's and LCA's?
If not, I would look at replacing those. There is alot of choices, but I think for the most part there are only a couple which are geared only yo handeling (MM's or Griggs) or launching (HPM Mega Bites). The biggest thing which dictates your suspension is springs and shock/struts. If you go with an adjustable (such as Strange) set up you could have a decent launcher and ok street mannors. Are you planning on running a DR at FFW? With only limited drag racing I would not go to a strip only set-up, (IE 90/10's and 50/50's with drag specific springs). Also concerning the NOS, are you planning on spraying your car as is now, or after a engine rebuild? If after a rebuild, if you have forged pistons it shouldn't be a big deal, as long as you have upgraded the injectors and fuel pump (which you'll have to to get 300rwhp)

Re: THE beginning
I would go ahead and use the trickflow stage 1 cam with those heads you mentioned getting.
On the suspension, Italian has shown that the Factory 5 upper and lower control arms work very well in the handling AND drag racing department, so I recomend those as well. Get some good adjustable struts/shocks and you have a nice "all around" car

Lee....actually the Jury is still out on that one.Brian is recovering from some pretty bad burns on his arm,and I am not sure if he will be in shape to tackle all that in a one day job.......... Most important is that he recover from the injury...........If necessary,things will be put on hold until after FFW,when he is feeling better........ I think he has most everything on the list with the exception of parts I am supplying.............I'd like to have the car ready,but I am NOT gonna push him to compromise healing for a bunch of Mods........
