What Do I Do?!
I'm remakeing the Stang to turn it into a chevy killer, just need some advice on the suspension I should put in it, heres the plan so far: Car-89' GT vert, Engine-347 stroker from T@L engines 400+ HP 400+ TQ fuel injected, Transmission-Rebuilt stock(heavy duty gears?), Rear End- 3.73's, thats the plan for the drivetrain, now what should I do with the wheels, tires, chassis, suspension, exhaust? Any opinions are welcome I'm just looking to build a mean street machine. (expecially the suspension)

RE: What Do I Do?!
first off I would find a hatch or coup body much better for racing.
but as far as suspention a set of moroso trick springs and drag struts and shocks with upper and lower control arms. and remove front sway bar. that should help a lot.
chasie i would put a set of subframe connectors and maybe a small six point roll cage to help stiffen the car.
wheels and tires theres nothing like a set of draglites and drag radials on the stree.
exhaust your standard long tubes with a x or h pipe and good mufflers.

Thanks for the reply, but I'm not looking for a drag car, I'd prolly only bring it to the track once to see what it will run otherwise it will just be my summer car to have some fun with. I was just gettin tired of gettin beat by ricers and v6's. Just trying to turn it back into a real muscle car. So with that in in mind does that change what you think I should put in it. I get the impression that you think I'm going to the strip with this car.

C'mon, nobodys got nothing for me, guys tell me what you would do with a 347 stroker in a 89 vert and a few grand to throw into other goodies. Tell me how to make it go fast, take a few corners in the process, hook up good and I will do it.
