Sal's a great guy and sounds like they have great products, just not quite what I want.

Well I've decided to go with the TCI set up which my car is currently undergoing the work to install it and a lot of other stuff. Wish I could report on the results. I will say, I've been very impressed with how well the TCI Camaro has performed at the events I've seen it at in person (RTTC, Goodguys, etc.) which is why I chose their set up.

However, on the 315 vs 335 I question if you and Sal are on the same page. I've had this conversation with Sal multiple times. To me he has made it pretty clear that he recommends the 315 size because of the limitations of the TUB, not the torque arm.

Sal has seen my specific tub job and recommended I stay with a 315 knowing I track the car on road courses and the car will see hard turns at over 100 mph. He personally has measured my wheel wells with 335's mocked up and I'd have good clearance with a 335 but at those speeds and loads he wasn't comfortable with ANY chance of rubbing.
