Thank you all for the quick feedback, looks like my productivity at work is about to drop dramatically due to this site!!
Here’s another question- how many of you that have performed the suspension & drivetrain mods have recorded before & after testing to quantify the results of the mods that have been made? I am just trying to get a feel for the kind of improvement that would be seen with the modifications I am considering. I have never had the opportunity to ride in a "pro-touring" modded car, so I am trying to get a feel for how drastic the handling performance gains would be. I will again lay out what I have & the mods I am considering:
now-68 camaro, stock 15" steel rallies with 215 front/275 rear,454BBC, TH400, stock power drums all around, standard shocks all around, power steering, stock rubber bushings, basically as it came out in '68, stock but excellent condition
potential mods related to handling- 18" alloys, 245front/335 rear, 13"Baer front/12"rear,DSE/Global front coil over Koni conversion, sway bar, quick ratio steering box, complete DSE Mini tub kit w/Koni’s (possible 4-link),TKO600 trans conversion.
All I am trying to figure out is how my car with the mods would handle compared to say, a stock 88 IROC, 84 Corvette, 2000 mustang GT, etc.... As it is now it would compare more to a 78 Ford Econoline van!!
maybe it's not that simple, but humor the newbie
