    Chassis stiffening....then suspension. Its like building an awesome house. You would never build a huge kick ass house on a POS 4 inch slab of concrete. You always start with the chassis/suspension. If you stiffen up the chassis, and upgrade the suspension in "key" launch points of the car, you will be able to use all of the existing hp/torque in the car. So when you add power next, you will be able to realize the full potential of the power. If you go with just power without chassis/suspension.....expect to realize no more than 3/4 of the potential.....and the car will not be nearly as solid.

    If you can't put all the power to the pavement efficiently, or even at all.......what good is it.

    My 2 cents (and I know a thing or two about mustang suspensions )

      Thank you for a very educated post in response to the suspension questions. I've been doing some looking around and instead of doing the grip box, I think I'm going to invest in the launch box. I'm going to do the chassis/suspension work first. I'm pulling the current motor and tranny, and leaving the rear end in the car. I'm going to put the money into making it a bullet proof roller, and do the body work, then worry about the drivetrain later.

      Sooo, someone buy the motor and tranny. Any takers?
