That would be your call but if you learn and know what is required it may help you with your build.
PS -- Even if you don't plan to put a cage in the car build it like you were going to just in case you change your mind down the road.
Step One - Chassis Modifications
1. Frame Bracing
2. Place to hang weight on the nose (seems to be on all of them)
Step Two - Front Susp Mods
1. Upgrade Control Arms (stock are flimsy at best)
2. Adjustable type shocks
3.
Step Three - Rear Susp Mods
1.
Step Four - Roll Cage & Saftey Mods
1.
Step Five - Interior Mods
1.
Step Six - Aerodynamic Mods
1.
You get my idea's - maybe someone with much more knowledge then me can help you out. I know there are many books on building land speed cars that you can use for reference. Maybe you can find some and update some of us on what they reccomend or require.

What type frame bracing can you do to a Chevelle fram besides a cage, I have wanted to install some type of roll bar/cage but I have been a little to busy, with all the hours I work and my family, I nedd to find time to bend one up and weld one in, just have not decided how crazy I want to go. This upcoming winter I was planning on putting a rack in the car as well as make some front control arms. The rear is all tubular adjustable uppers and lowers with Hiem joints, is feels real solid and precise in the rear while driving.
