[Mean Green Z28]

Reformed (well, on my way there) drag racer. My '94 Z28 isn't exactly what you'd call stock. Looks stock with a cowl induction hood but that's it!

LT1/auto was swapped out with a forged internal 6.0ltr Iron block LS1 and T-56 setup.

18" Z06 wheels (9.5 F and 10.5 R) and a LS1 brake Conversion up front.
Koni's (4.5 sweeps down from stiff up front and one turn from soft rear) and Strano sway bars with the Ground Control Kit (26" front 27" rear ride height at top of wheel arch)
Spohn tunnel mounted torque arm
Hotchkis box LCAs
Double adjustable panhard rod (rod ends)
Home-made shock tower brace (rod ends)

I am gonna be switching out the Hotchkis LCAs for the poly/rod end setup but would rather not switch out the T/A for a trans mount version if I really don't have to. What can I do/what do I need? I was thinking of putting on subframe connectors next, should I go with the 2-point or 3-point?

Also, with all that was done to the car, what kinda racing can I do? What classes/etc.? Are there open events where I can go to mainly learn/improve on my driving? I'm not going hardcore but I'd like to do some autox and roadracing next year. I don't drive it on the street too often (only nights/weekends) so it doesn't really have to be a street setup.

Well, for autocross you would be in Street Modified (SM). You could also legally run in SM2, X-Prepared(XP), and E-Modified (EM), but probably shouldn't unless that just fits the local mix well.

The short TA is likely to cause brake hop problems, but at least pre-98 cars have somewhat less trouble with it than 98+ cars.

The main value of the SFC is to provide a convenient jacking point for swapping on your race tires (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I don't understand what you mean by switching out the Hotchkis LCAs for a poly/box setup. Neither is a great choice, but why swap one poly LCA for another?

Oh, and I meant Poly/Rod end setup ... will fix that right now
