400 Rwhp?.... Drag racing?....... Let's start here......

What's your goal, street, road course, drag, street/strip..... What tire? What weight? What's already done to the chassis? What budget?

it will be a street/strip car
the only weight reducition will be the removal of the rear seat
tire? not sure yet but once i get another car for daily driving ill get sum drag radials
my goal is for this to be an all motor car that only gets used in the summer for street racing and going to the track
and budget...price is not an option this is a long term build

Subframe connectors are a must. There are a couple of companies you can go to and get complete kits that will meet or exceed your expectations: Team Z Motorsports, Wolfe Racecraft, Maximum Motorsports, Steeda, Baseline Suspension, and many others.

I recommend Team Z: www.teamzmotorsports.net/ their quality is outstanding and you can not beat the customer service. Dave will be able to guide you and provide whatever parts you will need within your budget.
