How to get the power down?

I have a 83 z28 I am droping in a 408 sb about 550 hp with a superT10 4 speed and i got a posi disc brake rear out of a bird and will put 4:10s in it. I am planning on installing frame connectors. I would also like to lower the car about 1 inch because of body roll. I am unsure of what types of traction bars or other things i can do. This is a street car that i can have fun in. Any suggestions would be great, thanks.

You'll at least want some LCA relocation brackets. And you'll probably want new LCAs and maybe a new torque arm. Like from UMI, BMR, Spohn, ect.

Yes, if your drag racing im sure some drag radials would help, unless your the kind of person that thinks if you smoke tires, your car is BA, but even a minivan can smoke tires lol.

Like said above lcarb's lca's panhard and torque arm, and some good shocks/struts.
