Unless you have a proper cage and significant reinforcement to support the chassis, I would stick with 1.06 or lower for A bodies and 1.10 or lower for the B and E's. Any more than that and significant torsional load is transferred to the chassis; you begin to pop spot welds and tear sheet metal.





That's where my money is.

You're dealing with more than 3,000 lbs of steel being thrashed over bangs and bumps and seeing all kinds of torsional loads. The bad part is that it's built of stamped sheet metal.

Beef up the suspension too far and it will be stiffer than the chassis it's hanging on.


We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind.
