Next Focus is on handling, help please
I've worked on Air in/Air out, some cosmetics, have 6.0 L heads and a cam only a couple of weeks away, so now I need to focus on making that power stick, and then handling in corners.
What should be my first purchase? I'm thinking adjustable Torque Control Arm first. Opinions? Really want to avoid wheel hop.
and even though I already have sfc's and a Hotchkis STB, I like the idea of their TVS package, has anyone purchased this package? If so, please provide some feedback. I didn't see many other packages out there except SLP's level 1 suspension kit, which from what I understand was a dealer option package, so I doubt it'll provide the level of performance I'm going to expect.
Thanks, Scott

The best thing you can do to improve handling is a set of Koni Single Adjustable shocks. Then cut a coil off each spring, bigger sway bars and poly bushings. But the Koni's will make the biggest difference. SLP subrame connectors would be a good idea to make the chassis strong enough to support the stiff shocks and springs.

Thanks for the info.
I put SFC's on over the weekend and I cannot believe the difference.
My first objective will be to eliminate wheel hop, and then the handling aspect of everything.
So, keeping that in mind, what should I buy first to help get the tires to stick?
Is it still adjustable shocks?
