If ur running 10's or 9's you'll need a 6-point for 10's or a 10 point for 9's, which will add all the strength you need, plus some subframes would be nice too.

Oh wow, you had a '79 Z28 too!!! I have one also, it's sittin at my dad's house in connecticut in his garage. One day maybe i'll get around to buildin it up, but I can't afford two projects right now!!! The '79 is very weak, freakin got beat by my buddy's '01 Cavalier Z24 before I got the '99 and drove around the '79, he just barely edged me out!!!! Then I got the '99 and, well, um, i'm sure you know the outcome, hehe!!! He thought he might have a chance cuz when I first got the '99 it was my first stick car and he figured I wouldn't be able to drive it too well, wrong!!!! That was kind of what pushed me toward gettin the '99, got sick of being beat by rice!!! And then I moved to florida and caught the drag racing bug first time out to the track!!!!
