Will these mods help for drag raceing,Or are they just good for the road course?
I've decided to do some more suspension work to my car,I'm running a H.O. 305,And While this motor isn't exactly a big block or anything,I figured that i would have a better chance of getting the power it does make to the ground if the suspension is stiffined up.So far i have replaced all the bushings with polyurethane bushings,Boxed in my L.C.A.'s,And i had my panhard bar boxed today (I'm gonna re-install it tomorrow).In the near future i was going to add a strut tower brace and install sub frame connectors.Do you guys think this is a good idea for getting power to the pavement at the strip,Or are these mods only good for curves?

The single biggest thing you need to do is to put a set of subframe connectors on it. You won't believe the difference. Take the "feel" of everything you've done so far, and multiply it by about ten; that should give you a good idea of how much they improve the car. They should have been the first chassis mod done to these cars, before they even left the factory.

A majority of all suspension mods help both with handling and drag racing. Items such as subframe connectors, STB, Lower control arms, panhard bar, torque arm, wonderbar, etc. They all pretty much help. The only difference is mostly sway bars, spring rates, and strut/shock differences.
