The car will be drag raced as well, mostly to tune it up for a 1 mile event. The problem is usually the same, and I have talked to liberty, jerico, lenco etc. They don't make the strong transmissions or gear sets with over drive. Thats the only way the car can reach its top end. There was one or 2 companies that did but it was barely an overdrive, something in the .9ish range. Thanks for the input though, I will check them all out again before I buy.
You know damn well I have a stock M12 Z06 tranny that we can slap in there...should hold for a good second or so
Interesting rear end - should be hell for stout. I see THREE links - but I don't see anything that would act like a panhard bar... am I missing something??

If you look closely you can see its a 4 link with another 5th link at the top, center of the housing that keeps it all centered, but all joints will articulate. After it gets some initial testing I'm sure I will be adjusting/changing something.
Now I see 'em - the upper bars - not sure how I missed 'em the first time around... maybe I was too busy trying to find what was handling the side loads...

The pics not that good. I'll post some better ones when i get it all looking pretty.
Don't know if you guys noticed, but I love the full adjustability of the front suspension so you can get the geometry "just right". Love the adjustable tie rod and idler arm height. No bump steer issues here.

Every piece is adjustable and the coil springs have hidden adjusters up inside the spring pockets to adjust ride height as well. A couple little tweaks and everything should work pretty good.
A small update. I managed to get some steering in it this weekend.
The removeable steering wheel really helps getting in and out and I can remove it to make it less appealing to steal when I go to get my groceries.
