    The most simple setup, and one that works pretty well is the tried and true tube front axle. I know there are some advantages to coilovers, but for pure building simplicity, the old crossover spring has steered a million drag cars down the quarter.

    I think a car set up like the one in this picture, even with a semi mild BBC should at least crack into the 10's. At the very worst low 11's.

    If you want to get excited about the altered you are thinking about building, click on here and turn up the speakers. I posted this a while back, found this on youtube.
