So I've had my 69 Camaro ss convertible for 33 years, it's been through several different engine combos, from 13.5:1 355, blown 355, blown 383, and currently twin turbo 383, runs mid 9's207806207807207808[ATTACH=CONFIG] We recently lost our drag strip, and just went out to Sebring, and ran an amateur day with our son, he ran his mkiv supra, and I used his daily Subaru BRZ with rims and better tires, and it was great. I'd like to reconfigure our Camaro. I'm figuring pull the engine, build an na 406 out of it(it's already a dart block, eagle rotating assembly and Brodix Heads), and put in a tkx 5 speed. I'd like to do a front clip to start, and am considering a TCI, minus brakes and adapt C6 brakes to it. I researched speed tech, and wasn't keen on rear steer or the unisteer rack. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Speedtech has a front steer subframe that uses a Sweet rack.

Detroit Speed is worth looking at.

Is the TCI subframe not any good? I have a lot of other parts to buy, and it's over 2k$ price difference between the 2. Thanks!

There is one member here who is a big fan of TCI. I have no experience with their subframes.
