what do I need to hook up?

I have a 1995 Z-28 383, A4, with a 2600 RPM stall. I have 275/40-17 BF drag radials on, but when I'm drive at anything under 30 MPH and punch it I breaks loose. I still have the stock 3.23 gears in it so I know its not going to get any better when I install the 3.73's. If someone out there could give me a list of suspension parts that would help out I'd appreciate it.

lol, ET STREETS! Seriously, hookin on the street with gears and stall is kinda like pissin in the wind. Et streets are expensive so i only use mine on the street a couple of times a year when i want to play, but mostly at the track. So that leaves me helpless below 50 on the street. Good luck, Prorac1

No, i run 17x9.5 ss rims on the street, and a set of 16x8 ss rims with 26 x 11.5 x 16 et streets at the track. I never messed with drag radials cause i didnt like the idea of buying new tires every year for an ocasional driver, and i knew i hooked on et streets cause i used a set from a friend before i bought mine. I also boxed my stock control arms and put in new bushings (poly) new sway bar bushings, spohn torque arm, and poly trans mount. Hope this helps, prorac 1

Get rid of all the stock stamped metal suspension parts and replace them with good quality stuff that won't flex under load as well as a good set of shocks. That helped to cure my problem with burning the tires at 50 in 3rd gear (first and second are still useless though). If you rearend can take it, some ET streets would be the next step, IMO.

Thanks It does, I'm going to get a set. I plan on getting a moser rear end too. I've heard the stock rear ends don't hold up to well with slicks.
