Good news, I found some pics of my car on the course and ordered them yesterday. I'll scan them and post them. The car weighs 3125 lbs with me in it and a full tank of gas.
It does ride very well and handles great!! It hooks up different than any other car I have ever driven. My brother had a 72 Chevelle with an old school ladder bar setup. I've also driven a Pro Street 69 Chevelle with coil over shocks with a 4 link setup and various other leaf spring cars with ladder bars. I've never driven a Caltrac rearend setup though. The others have hooked up well, but the truckarm setup, in my opinion, is way better. Maybe because I have more $$$ invested in it (hahahhaaa). I think I can get more bang for my buck with some better street tires too. My next set might be the Nitto 05's or the Goodyear F1's for the street and drag radials for the strip.
When I built the car I threw most of my budget into the suspension/brakes and tire combo, preparing myself for more horsepower down the road. As we all know, the original suspension doesn't handle that well and CPP and other companies have come out with some cool stuff. The LT1 was used and mostly stock, but I plan on building something with a lot more power. LS1's weren't as popular 5 years ago when I started the build. I would definetely go with an LS1 over an LT1 today, but I have $$$ invested in the LT1 setup and know the potential for more power is there. For now, I'm gonna drive hard and fast!!!
