Goin for 10's (maybe 9's) in a vert - what suspension upgrades will I need? With my 402, TH400 and a 200 shot I hope to finally put my heavy convertible deep in the tens. Seeing as how its such a heavy car (even more with the LQ9 iron block) what suspension mods should I get?
I currently have
BMR LCA's
BMR panhard bar
BMR SFC
stock springs/shocks
MT 26" slicks/skinnies
I am thinking new springs/shocks, cage, light weight k-member, air bag?, swaybar . . .

Looks like you could use a cage, torque arm and adjustable shocks (for weight transfer). BTW, modern f-bodies don't have struts, just shocks...coil over style.
I really don't think you need swaybars (you could remove the front bar when racing). The light-weight stuff is optional, but reducing weight makes your power worth more.
