to pro street or not?
« Thread Started on Jan 24, 2009, 5:53pm »

Ok, I need some input for my 69..Some background first:
drivetrain is a SBC with a 177 supercharger dynod at just over 520hp to the real wheels. The tranny is a built turbo 350 with a 12 bolt with 3:73 gears.

the car is not a show queen, but rather a driver. My real question comes down to how far should I go into the perfomance pieces?
should i keep the orignal A arms and go with a simple hotchkins kits and retain the coil set up or go with aftermarket a arms and a coil over type design.
What are the pro's or con's? the thing handles like a 60's hot rod, but I want more
Price is flexible, in other words I will pay if the product is well worth it.

Any help would be appreciated!!!
Mike

I can tell you this going to tall spindle(78camaro) and front disc and Spartan rod works upper control arms with QA1 coil overs the chevelle handles great and corners good(concidering skiny's upfront) but I lost turning radius, no more tight u- turns.
I also installed a quick ratio power sterring unit.

Did you loose turning radius due to the geometry or the steering box?
do you know if the swapto B Body spindles and 13"(i think) rotors are a direct bolt in? i also read that the large rotor swap of a LS1 equiped camaro would bolt right up......any thoughts?

thanks for the info!
