Default Pro Street

It is really very hard to put a race car on the street, and a street car on the track. either way your going to break something. Drag racing suspension is meant to go STRAIGHT on a smooth surface.

The 5500 stahl converter is not for the street. 5.83 gear with a spool not for cornering. Your going to need more than pump gas for that motor. Being fun driving it will wear off real soon. Remember fiberglass, and tin work crush in the slightest of impacts.

I busted a hymn joint on the wish bone on a 4 link pro street car. Just pulling out onto the road. It took out both wheel wells, on a fresh paint job. Had a flat on the rear M/T tire, called a flat bed to haul it 20 miles home.

I think your better of with a ladder bar car for the street. If it's a 4 link, I would shy away from it. Look at the welds, fab work that has been done, wiring. Don't let pretty paint fool you. Be safe, but if you want race the track is the place to do it! COOL CAR

Good Luck
