My turn. All the "experts" don't live out of town! From Mike Lynch S/S stick racer. You have to become the expert on your car, or you have to have a whole lot of money to spend or waist. They're are great engine builders and car builders that will get you in the ball park. To get to the point of being a fast car, most racers know its the combination of most things that like each other. Gear ratio, trans, trans ratio, weight, shocks, springs, cam, heads, valves, converter, carb, FI program, and so on.

A race car is a shinny Rubric Cube nicely wrapped in a physics problem. It is somewhat solved one line at a time. For me its not easy.

I think suspension is the cheapest and easiest part to work on first. If it don't roll easy your leaving something, ET, on the table. Thanks Captain Obvious.

You'll need a few tools and some help. Tools: Tape measure, good level, 5' to 6' straight edge (I use a 3/8 X 3'' X 60'' aluminum), pencell and paper. And you will probably make some tools as needed.

So lets check the rear end first it has the biggest tires. You want Zero toe, no camber, and straight in the car. Also check for drag on the brakes.
