All of the above is very good advice...
Here is a happy snap of my old bomb, it is just a baby cam combo torque monster all the same it use to leave the line as an 11sec car but run out of puff.. lol...
Front suspension... 6cyl spring's, 90/10 shock's, dis connect front sway bar, pizza cutter's...
Rear suspension... 35 yo std spring's, GT tramp rod's, 9'' slick's and wedge's between diff and spring pack for pinion angle..
Good luck and happy racing mate!!!!
