suspension help
Im planning on building a road race car. The base is a 1994 v6 completely gutted. Putting carburated, supercharged 302, probably 400-450hp, 8.8" rearend, i need some opinions on a good front and rear suspension setups. Price is not a big issue at this point. I need a suspension that can handle the extra weight of the 302 and the extra power. any opinions are welcome. Thanks

Sorry here is a link

Alot of road racers I know say this is the bible for mustang road racing. Im not sure how much time is spent on the 94+ cars. But for 12 bucks it might help some. I have only flipped through it but I ordered one the other day. There might also be a good sn95 book out there but I have not looked.
