What good is it to go fast if the car will not turn or stop?

I should have mentioned I have Kenny Brown welded in subframe connectors, BBK castor/cambor plates, KYB shocks/struts, a Ford racing strut tower brace, and bradn new rubber.

Still think suspension is the way to go?

yup. get a nice set of upper/lower control arms.

and if you have the money and want the work you can go with a tubular k member, tubular a arms and a coil over setup up front. That will drop tons of weight too.

You can also get a 8' crank pulley, up the injectors and pull more boost

Good recommendations and this should take me a while to get completed :-)

May be I'll start with the electric fan/ alternator and kind of ease into the rest. I'll do the battery relocation too. r.barn, you certainly love MM. I understand why.

MM makes tubular a arms too, right?
