Well I am new here and I am looking to run at summit point. Really I just want to know where to start.

The main car I am looking to run is a 91 Z28 heres the specs:

-195CC Aluminum heads 5 angle, polished, etc...
-Brand spanking new 350
-LT4 Hot Cam
-Alum. 1.6 Rockers
-3.42 Posi Auburn Rear
-Stock TPI intake
-Poly Bushings
-TDS Wonderbar

I am working on the following:

-8 Point Roll Cage
-Spohn Tubular K-Member and A-Arms
-1-5/16" front sway bars, and 1" Rear.......Would this be ok?
-Aluminum Driveshaft
-T56
-13" Corvette Front brakes
-Y2K C5 5 Spokes
-255 Fronts 275 Rear Undecided on tires..... Any recommedations?
-Wilwood 12.19" rear brakes.... anything out there better?

As for the rest of the suspension I am looking for more suggestions.

I also have a 98 Z51 thats holds the garage floor down and a 91 RS which is my daily driver.

As for summit point where do I start? Who do I contact? etc.

Welcome and Happy July 4th SSgt! We have a good third gen crew here. I recently sold my third gen race car that was very dialed in for CMC. Raced it for about five years, it was an '84 Trans-Am with the L69 engine. I always drove it with the rear end brake dialed out or almost dialed out with stock brakes and a proportioning valve- this is pretty much the norm with this car in track situations unless you want to experience some real nasty wheel hop! If you bought the Wilwood stuff the good news is you can sell it! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Your underhood combo sounds really potent! Your job once you hit the track will be from letting all that power get you in trouble while you are in the learning stages (if you are experienced my apologies!).

I knew I'd miss my 3rd gen race car so I got a '91 TPI Formula five-speed 305 last year. A lucky situation yielded a low mile stroker, also a '91 TPI, and I am also going the T-56 route. Car is at Blaine Fabrication and will get Alan's nice custom SFCs and 3.5" exhaust. This will be a street car but will do an occasional lap at the big track! Not sure what I'll do with all that power. Hubby asked that question and I said "I'm going to laugh like a crazy person!!!!" MUHAAA HAAA!!
