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.

As others have said, go slowly with the parts replacement. Work on seat time first, and then start working in parts that make sense. The best thing you can to with a 3rd Gen, though is get the chassis stiffer. If the classes you plan to run in allow it, get some SFCs and install the roll cage so that it helps stiffen the car. They don't call them 'flexible flyers' for nothing. :-) That stiffer chassis will protect the body parts (fewer cracks between the window and hatch), and allow all future mods to work better.

Pay close attention as to how the part you are installing now will interact/interfere with future mods. I'm right now trying to figure out how I'm going to work my next exhaust system in around the SFCs I chose to install. I think I just about have it worked out, but it has meant some time just laying under the car and thinking about how things would fit together.

You may want to double-think about front coil-overs. With the strut front end, you are limited to wheel width and backspace on that car. Most coilovers will only hurt that situation. I am running 16" wheels with 5" backspace. I can go another 1/4", maybe, because of the Koni struts. I don't think I could use these wheels with COs. You can put a 12" wide wheel almost completely under the back of the car. It is the front that is the problem.

I will be signing up for FATT soon at summit. You guys think I should take my RS 5.0 to that since its slower (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) or should I go ahead and take my Z28?

I understand what you guys are saying but I have about 1000 a month that I set aside to spend on what makes me happy and thats my cars. So I need ideas where to start. Like what tires you guys have experiance with? Shock springs, lca, etc. like asked before. I just want to start somewhere.

Slower is always better for beginner, fast cars will get you in trouble faster! With a slow car you may have a chance to correct. Your $ will go fast...do a search on these things you are interested in and you'll get lots of info. What you don't get or need clarification on we are here to help ya!
