Cool28 build thread Well got the rear being built mcw 9inch with watts ink, narrowed 3in on both sides and wavetrac. Also found myself a 2000 4l80e for 460 shipped that still works. Now just need driveshaft, rims and to fix the quarter panel and put in a minitub for the 335s going in the back.
Anyone know a good body shop that can do minitubs as well?

It sounds like your are gearing up for a straight line car. What advantage does the Watts link give you at the track? Its significantly heavier than a PHB, and will it still allow you to clear an oversized drag bar?
I see a lot of dual purpose or cars built for handling use them but, just the fact you are going with a narrowed rear and tubbing it raised my curiosity.
You will love that MWC rear.

this build is going to basicly be a cruiser once im done with it. That being said i do want to beable to play with it at the strip to. So im building options into it as i go. I know the benefits of a watt link for handling and i also think there some benefits for it in racing as well but i coulding tell you off hand.
Also the rear is geared towards top speed runs/ low rpm highway drives
End build is a 1200+ hp twinturbo ls1 that will beable to travel long distances and still do a few races and drive back home
