My best recommendation is get with Mike and Todd at TRZ and they will set up up with what you need to work with.
Yeah the TRZ guys can really help you out.
I will tell you that 700hp is not going to get you into the low 5s in the 1/8th though, unless the thing weighs 2200 pounds!

nope probably 5.60s but this is just an engine for this year i paid 3500$ for, until the boosted one is done, but I still will be running a 10.5 tire, and immagine the set ups between the two are similar. i will give the guys from trz a call, i heard there really good with helping out on set ups.

That's what I'm thinking, because if it's the latter, we can add a good second to that time...
You'll definitely need a good set of front and rear shocks, Strange, AFCO, or QA1. Double adj. for the rear for sure, don't even look at singles in the rear. Singles or doubles for the front being you're a small block. Front end limiters will be needed for sure, be it in the stock control arms or in ours that include them. Solid Rear suspension meaning no poly or rubber in any of the mounts. Some Moroso trick (or Moog equivalents) up front or a light spring coil-over setup. A 125 or 150 lb. rear spring (depending on the transmission), preferably adjustable height either using rear coil-overs in the stock location (AFCO) or with adj. coil-spring adjusters welded to the housing in place of the stock spring locator (we make them now). An ARB is a must in any G-body that makes even decent power. And lower the whole car down some to make the rear control arm geometry optimal. Hope this helps. Not sure if you called us yet or not, but hopefully we gave you the same advice on the phone as on here!
Thanks,that is exactly what I needed. I saw the complete kits you guys have I will probably end up going that rout.
And the car it was in it went 5.64. It made 742whp I'm not concerned about this engine. It will be a good engine to learn nitrous tuning with, that's it. Just looking to get my suspension all figured out. Thanks trz
