the big thing when you get some sticky tires on it is to make sure you limit your chassis flex as much as possible..excessive chassis flex can warp the top of your car, cause doors not to open and closeetc...this is when you hook her up with slicks at the dragstrip etc...a good set subframe connectors is a great investment..a 65 chevelle is a sub-frame car best of my memory :?: :?: :roll: ..as long as you are spinning the thje tires on the street you will have no problem...less than 125 dollars you can tie her in and really feel the difference..

good luck and congrats..
