I would like to know what is the best setup for a 70 chevelle that has 10.5 in ET streets, 496 big block that has 500 hp to the wheels, 12 bolt with 4:11s.
Right now I have South Side Machine lower bars and poly bushings on top with stock upper control arms.
I see people getting better times with the same hp. I ran 11:06@127 mph. With the tires spinning...
let me know if you have any ideas...
Thanks

ET Street radials or bias ply? The radials rock, bias ply not so much.

Also, what is your 60 foot time? Does the car leave straight? Tire pressures? RPM through traps?
