You all are providing extremely helpful info and suggestions....thanks a million for taking the time to get me up to speed. I'll digest all of this, do some more research and start formulating a plan. It's tough to resist blowing the budget, but the sensible side of me is saying the conservative approach will almost certainly wind up costing me more money or leave me unsatisfied in the long run. What I should really do is try to locate some first gen Camaros in my area with a host of different suspension mods to see what does what. Fortunately my neighbor has three and they are all very nice builds. He's more straight line oriented and has a nearly unlimited budget (and his builds reflect that) with all his cars having four links...not sure what he's done to them up front....but at least it's something to work with rather than just reading about it. A customer of mine mentioned he just got a full Hotchkis TVS kit in to install on a customer's second gen Camaro, so maybe he'll have that wrapped up in the near future and I can get a ride in it, as well. With almost all of my customers being racers, rodders or shops that restore, build and fabricate I might just be able to locate a few capable first gen g-machines in spite of that not being a popular type of build around here.
