I personally run the HRPARTSNSTUFF Uppers and lowers. These things are great and they hook good. I suggest getting the lowers from them too to compliment your uppers. All the other stuff is really standard and looks good to me. I was running 1.82 60' with biltstein shocks and the front sway bar on drag radials with out even trying. I will be interested in the change with the new shocks QA1 adjustable and no front sway bar. Some time launching the car and I would have been in the 1.7X's with no problem.

I run consistent 12.0 with 1.6 60's and all that I have in the rear is air bags, stock rear sway bar and all urethane bushings. No boxed control arms or anything else. I have a 3200 stall 9". Also still have the stock front sway bar.

Go with the 60's. They are easier to hook than the 50's and with a loose converter, will keep the RPM's down through the traps and allow bigger MPH.

The key is a well prepped track (forget "Ricer Night")

I agree w/UNGN, I had some 255x50x16 BFG's and could pull low 1.6 on PREPPED tracks .High 1.8's on ricer night , no real susp mods ,car ran 11.0 on slicks and 11.4 on drag radials
I would get the taller 28" tall tires
