which hood you like better
Re: opinion need for 74442guy
if its race only get as much fiberglass on the nose as possible. also relocate bat to trunk. race air bag helper on rear to help stop any wheel hop. ditch the factory front control arms for light weight tubular . adjustable rear control arms. as long as it is secured add rear (lead or steel) ballast bars as last resort

Bigger meats out back, drop the front sway bar & get some 90/10s when he goes drag racing or better yet, get adjustable shocks front & rear to dial in the suspension. There's different methods of thinking on stiff springs vs soft springs, so I'll leave that can unopened for the moment. I'm sure there's other things like trying to distribute weight as far back as possible & such. What were y'alls thoughts?
I agree with the gears and tires he is running street tire right now and unless its designed for street / strip use you might as well be wearing a roller skate and I do agree for the 90 / 10 split for the front but wont the drag bag's help with the rear ?? instead of the shocks ??

Re: opinion need for 74442guy
I'd still go with some adjustable shocks in the rear. Summit has some pretty cheap & they are probably a knock off of CE or Koni. The more you can dial in your suspension, the better off you are. Again, there are different opinions on whether the rear should be stiff or soft but if you want my thoughts....... I prefer a tight A$$, lol.
