Here ia where my tierods ended up after setting the bumpsteer my self,,took it to a local chassis builder and he made the final adjustments and the spacer's ended up just a hair shorter and he also added a safty washer under the tierod end in case of failure and told me that I actually had it pretty close, but not close enough for his standard's. 
That looks good! But looking at my own suspension, it would seem like the only way to get this bumpsteer even half sorted out would be to put the tie rod ABOVE the spindle to get it flatter (although I think I will have some header issues if I do so). I should take a pic of what it looks like right now and post it for you guys so I can get some more input.
If yours is a mostly stock setup then I think putting the outer tie rod above the arm will throw you way off,basicly what you are wanting to do is have the lower controll arm and the tierod link swing in the same arc as close as you can and that USUALLY puts the outer tie rod lower than stock position. 
Really? I thought it would be the reverse...I gotta look more into this toe thing and try to understand more about how it works. The only aftermarket suspension piece that I have upfront besides shocks are RMS tubular upper control arms.
Yep, I have already gone thru all of this a couple of years ago when I redid my front suspension, I added CAP upper, lower controll arms and radius rod's, made the switch to heim's on the outer tierod's(as shown in the pic I posted) and you will notice how much lower the outer rod end is compared to the arm on the spindle, I have seen a lot of A bodys this way that have had the bumpsteer corrected. 
Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

You think it needs 260@ .050 with 10:1? In a heavy car?Quote:
Sure, what tells you that won't work?
I'd put over 260 @ .050" in even a 9:1 408 ci motor.
Experience!
My experiences don't agree, but I hope you guys get it figured out.

That 3.10 second to the 1,000 mark is kind of a disappointment for that half-track mph... even if it is a world record!
