I am no idiot and if I thought this was so dam easy, I would hop in right now ant try to go 200, I put this post asking what tricks and or parts people are using. All most are saying is WOW, your gonna flip, that takes power, you need to do alot, It can't be done, turn the car into a space ship! This does not help me get to my goal.
And quit talking like I am wreckless. I want to hear from one person on this board who has not gone through the gears down an on ramp or on a nice freeway clearing at least once, either for fun, showing off, or tuning! Heck, people are talking about going 180 on a bike on the street!
I hit 150 mph and slow back down to 65 by the time I am done with the on ramp. The ramp I use is a little over half mile long, nothing to hit, nobody there that can get hurt. That sure is hell is safer then most crap I see on the internet going 150 mph through traffic and it takes them about a mile to do that, That is dangerous!
------------------------------------
I know it will take lots of experimenting and adjustments to hit 200 or close to that safely, and that is what I want to know.
I DO NOT WANT TO SEE ONE MORE REPLY SAYING I DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH POWER OR THAT I WILL BE FLIPPING!
So what do you think, most of you have seen pics of the car, should I lower it more? What are the best shocks/springs you have used? Should I keep the ass end higher then the front??? What do you think?

You are dangerous, at least to yourself. You plan on doing this on the street. No safety equipment, never even considered it by your quote:
"As far as safety, It is just more of a daily driver type street car that I go to shows in, but I like to play around. That would really suck If I needed safety equipment.... I never thought of that! "
You have not given a single example of a car like yours that has done it without something that holds it on the ground. Every car you listed is either 2" off the ground up front, has a huge wedge built into the front/rear height, or is an all-out race car with air management built into it, but a stockish "looking" body.
You keep asking for shock and spring recommendations, and are totally ignoring everything else. What are you going to do with the grill area? That will create a ton of lift in the front end. You have no front spoiler, are you going to run the front sheetmetal a couple inches off the ground to compensate?
Do you have tires that can run 200 mph? As mentioned before, what driveshaft do you have and what is it's max rated rpm? And don't think because it's a trick 3-4" aluminum aftermarket unit it's fine. I'm amazed how low the max rated rpm is on those things, usually under 8000 rpms. Sounds fine until you put the car in overdive where .33 over means you can't exceed 6000 engine rpms, and that's only if yours is that high; most are less.
All these things and more have been pointed out, but you don't want to hear them; you want shock and spring recommendations, and then off you go.
My advice is to get ahold of the guys who run Bonneville, and talk to the guys running 200 mph in stock bodied cars. Find out what mods they needed to keep the car planted. It will obviously surprise you as you think your car can do it right now (your quote). If you can get past all the safety things they've installed which you won't run, there should be a lot of good info as far as what they did to compensate for the lift up front, air under the car lifting the rear, etc. These are the "been there, done that" guys and who you need to speak with.
Good luck. I'd say take it to the track but you aren't gonna go for that one; after all, you aren't dangerous!
