Default 89 corvette questions

I am considering building Corvette for F/SA. Is the happy hooker the best way to pull the engine? What is the best controller for the computer? What is the best suspension to use? Any other advice for failing this type car?

Talk to Mike McMahan his runs very well. We built the engine for him.

It sounds like I would be better to run in H or I. Less weight to remove and fewer fast cars to outrun in Div. 4. Any advice on who to hire to do the suspension? or what parts to use?Also what will I need to manage the computer?Can the factory fab be used for cool down?
