Default Help w/ adjustable settings on my set-up

Hey everybody,

I've done quite a bit to the car over the winter...but even reading through the stickies and searches, I am still a bit unsure what to start of with setting wise. Here is my new set-up:

LME 416, rpm lv 5 T56, OZ 700 clutch
subframes to be installed
UMI tunnel mount torque arm set at -3*
LCA relocation brackets, lakewood non adjustable LCAs positioned in bottom hole of bracket
Single adjustable Comp Engineering drag shocks, stock springs
Spohn adjustable panhard bar, stock rear sway bar & mounts
UMI standard tubular k-member, adjustable lower a arms, non adjustable upper a arms
QA1 single adjustable front drag (275lb springs) coil overs.
removed front sway bar, a/c & smog delete, drycell batt.

currently running a 3.73 posi 10 bolt w/ 26" 255 et streets on stock rims. Both the rear end and rims will have to go, but I assume the gearing will stay about the same (maybe a 3.90), as will the et street selection, but hopefully on a 15x10 rim. Skinnies will be up front as well.

My main concerns are: shock settings, coil over height, and pinion angle. This is a street car, but will only see racing duties at the track.

Thank you for any input
