Default New Drivetrain????

I own a 1998 Z28 and I'm in need of a full rebuild from front to back and just hoping for some suggestions on a clutch kit. It definitly needs a slave cylinder, clutch, tranny rebuild, differential. Looking for brand suggestions and whether i should go with stock or upgrade and what kind of upgrades do you suggest? Thanks for your time!

Off topic: Just had car aligned Friday and I watched the guy do it, did everything right and was all computerized confirming everything but still is pulling to the left. How hard is it to bend a control arm? Spun out the other night and shifted the control arm but pryed it back to where it was just worried about possibly have bent it.

Thanks again

your not giving enough info for anyone to recommend a clutch. what type of mods do you have? is this a daily driver, weekend cruiser, or a street/drag car?how much power to you think youre making? are you spraying n2o? are you doing any big upgrades any time soon?

as far as the alignment, just bring it back and tell them its going to the left a little bit. dont mention you were abusing the car though. they should take you right back in with no questions asked

As of right now the car has full exhaust (SLP LTs/ SLP Catless Y/Borla CB), No Spray, and is basically stock with a tune. Plan on doing head, cam, intake nothing too drastic. Yes it is a daily driver. Maybe 360/365HP I guess with the simple mods I have already. Sotck with stock exhaust no tune and not even an aftermarket air filter it put down 316HP at the rear wheels, haven't dyno since then.

As far the alignment, My cousin is the one that did it for free at DOBBS so I will see what he can do with it or I might just have to pay for one.
