Concentrate on suspension, this is one of the most areas that people seem to pass by. One of my customers had a BONE STOCK LT1, less a small stall and trans brake and went 13.0, thru in a 100 shot and went 12.02. Not bad for a stock LT1..

The only suspension mod I don't have is a 4 link rear and 15 inch wide slicks. LOL.

I have LCA's, ADJ tunnel mounted TQ arm, LCA reloc. brackets, Air bags, ADJ. Panhard rod, ........I think the HAL shocks I have will help a bit.

HOWEVER: suspension has nothing to do with dyno #'s.

Dwayne,
Make no excuses for me and my car. It's a Street car all summer long and it still tips the scale at 4,000 pounds. All motor the car has gone 11.75 several times and 12 teen like this past weekend.My car is not a cut up bracket car and you can check around.Bryan Herter and Mike Harris have both driven the car. I put over 2,000 miles on it this summer with the new Yank converter.Lloyds stuff just rocks. All on his small cam.

The ''Land Yacht'' (Handyman's car) hasn't raced in 1 bracket competition in 3 years - 2005 was the last year it has been in a points event. Street driven, hits track rentals and TnT's all year long.

Both companies put out great quality from what i've seen - I have Handyman's car and a few others as Lloyd Elliot test beds and other friends that have run AI heads/cams. All of them have been very happy with what they bought.

The Yacht is a full interior car.
