Default 68' Camaro RS SS Pro whatever...

I don't know what to call it cause it keeps on changing.
Started my 68 Camaro upgrade with a 383 stroker and was gonna do the forced induction thang. UNTIL I ran into the same old problem.....shoddy machine work. so, Dad gave me his brand new 502 Ram Jet. I already had all the XFI setup, FAST Digital Dash, FAST Dual Sync distributor, Rick's hot rod shop stealth tank NARROWED, Radiator, Killer Manual valve body TH-350 tranny, etc. Now after the install of new motor and initial crank, i realize I am going to need a VERY VERY TIGHT Custom Stall made to handle over 500ft. lbs. of torque from 2,200 RPM on and not explode when the NOS comes in!
My biggest problem is TRACTION! I have the sub frames connected, Slide a links, etc. The DSE tubs I want are in my price range but the labor is looking to be around $2,200...DAMN!! then I have to get into some custom ART Morrison triangulated 4 link setup for my air ride QA1's in the rear.
Front has 2" drop spindles and shockwaves. Traction, Traction, Traction, is my problem! even with 315 Drag Radials I will be Smoking them off !! Then I am adding 3 stages of NOS to get into the 10's ! My day of good traction will come! I just wish I could afford to buy that whole G-frame minus the front spindles and run Art's triangulated 4 link with watt's link and a 9" rearend. car is Running Great ! needs fine tuning, and traction!
