Default Is this a must???

I'll be S/C in two weeks and wondering if I need to put on U/L control arms and sub frame connectors? Looking at 350-360 RWHP, but it'll be street only not strip. Advice please!

I would say subframes are a very strong "should do," if for no other reason than to make sure in 5-10,000 miles your doors still shut properly. Unibodies are not known for strength! Upper/lower control arms will really help with launching, but I don't see them as an absolute necessity for a car that won't see much track time. It wouldn't hurt, but there are better things to do (like, upgraded axles)

Subframes connectors for sure. Forget the other stuff unless you decide to hit the track now and then.

Sounds like sub frames are a must!

Not a must, but a very, very good idea. Nice color BTW!!
