Heavy front end tips
Heavy front end tips I know there is alot of info under this section but just looking for any helpfull tips. I am running an iron block with a procharger. I have all after market stock style suspension parts. I know this is a broad question but figured some one can point me in the right direction.
Well considering I owned a LT1 for years, being used to an Iron block was no biggie, even with putting on a FI setup like a Procharger.
LT1 springs were a little heavier then stock (i beleive 315-320#) and most times if you need to get weight off. People would xfer the battery to the back, and remove un-needed equipment such as fog lights, A/C unit, washer fluid/bottle, extra overflow coolant.
Whats the plan for the car?? What are you trying to accomplish.

Another thing to note as I am sure you do not want to hear this, maybe its time to buy LIGHTweight aftermarket front end components. I.E. Chromoly. Sell the Mild Steel stuff.

We can assist with lightening up the front end. We have a wide array of parts to take weight out and add strength. Let me know if you would like to talk over options.

I have the 325 springs and most of they other things removed just dont like how the springs are almost all the way up the shock. I would like to get the car into the 9s with a six speed but i doubt that will happen.
