Spool on the street is out. Leaning towards the locker/ 35 spline combo. Haven't settled on a tranny yet but leaning towards a Powerglide...I think 1st gear in a TH400 or 4L80 will be useless at this power level.

First u need to decide what you wanna do with the car. I hear 1000+hp,+ 4-link +powerglide + Slicks= To me that sounds like a drag car. If thats what ur looking for than cool, go with a ladder bar setup. But I would think twice about 1000+hp on the street. If your direction is to build a wild street car that handles, and can also hit the 1320', then a 4-link is not optimal. 3-link suspensions offer great handleing with virtually no bind when set up correctly. As far as a 3-link not being able to handle that kind of power, I disagree. As long as the compnents are built correctly, and installed correctly, then u shouldn't have a problem. You need to make sure ur trans and rear are built to handle all that poweras well, especially if your gonna throw a set of slicks on. All said an done, you need to decide how far you would like to go with the suspension aspect on the car and in what direction. Drag racing suspensions are far different than a handling/roadrace suspension. You can find a happy medium between the two but you will almost always sacrafice some handleing in either direction. Either way, It sounds like its gonna be one kick A$$ car. I'm sure LD will get back to u, Mark is pretty busy. GOODLUCK
