I have been leaning towards AME I am looking for an all around car that can corner and launch if it to. I dont know that serious drag racing is in the plans but I do have a strip less than 2 hours from home which Im sure the car will end up at regardless of what I put under it. I will be making a decision in the next week or two.
I'm going to give you different advice. Don't get sucked into this whole handling dilema. Your chasing tenths of a second in my opinion. Not many guys floating around here that are good enough behind the wheel to even worry about it. Me included. Personally, you can't go wrong with DSE stuff but I like my Alston G Bar as well. For 500hp and the occassional road race, forget replacing frame rails and all that junk. Do what fits your budget and skills and don't get sucked into all this talk.
Well then, the triangle 4 links will hook much better and handle great too. The AME is a great choice for a full on effort, or a car that needs frame rails anyway.
But as Todd mentioned, if you do not need frame rails, you would love G Link.
Wow, I've been out for too long, never even heard of Alston. Todd, i,d like to run my leaf spring set up against that Alston set up and see how much difference it makes. I have a feeling this rear suspension hunting is gonna be awhile.
I think it would be hard to tell Gaetano. I don't know how your car compares to mine. The biggest difference is going to be ride. You can stiffen it up for the track and soften it up for the street. That's what I really like.

By the way, that was a great shot of you pulling your front wheel up, I have one of those shots from Thunderhill with my front wheel 2" off the ground. I'll have to dig up the evidence and load it into this lap top, LOL
These are some pictures from when i brought the car home before I even had a chance to clean it up. The car is rust free minus some minor surface rust. I bought it in NC the frame is solid from what I can tell. Sorry about the poor quality pics Im currently away from home training.
Looks like the rails are killer. If your going to put any power in it you will need a rear. We can do the fab 9 housing with brackets all welded made to width you want
