I have a former drag car I am turning into street machine. The rear end was narrowed. Now runs 295s on rear and 245s on front.

I did all Shelby mods to front end including the Boss 302 welding mods. Sway bars etc.

The rear has new 4 leaf springs, koni shocks and welded reinforcement for shocks. Not staggered shocks. Hooks up under hard acceleration very well now. The rear has been turned into frame car and is real stiff already. Full roll cage inside car so no body twist.

Should I go with sway bar or track bar on rear. The engine is a 525 hp 428 now but have 427 side oiler turned into 482" 600 plus HP monster sitting on stand for latter.

My goal is a nice street car. No real racing. but want to corner well and still hook up rear if I get on it.
