About the rear end. I had a 396 LT1 making 380 rwhp and tq. I didn't like the 4.10's that I had. I ended up using 4th and 5th only, except for a really slow corner, like less than 40 MPH, then I'd use 3rd. 5th is an overdrive. It would feel like the car fell on it's face with 5th gear.
So, that being said, I think the stock gearing would be perfect. That would allow you to use 3rd and 4th.
I had Koni adjustable shocks, Strano springs, Hotchkis front bar, and a Strano rear bar. The handling was perfectly balanced.
I've got C5 front brakes. I love them. You will need to duct air to the rotors though. It's a heavy car, and the front brakes do all the work. Let me know if you want those sway bars. I'll give you a good deal on them.

And finally got tires for my ZR1 wheels. I went with the Nitto NT555's. They are really good tires. Now, just to see how long they last.
