What is your budget? That will help people make recommendations. What is your skill set/what tools do you have? The DSE Quadralink does well at a lot of events and I am pretty sure you can get a 335 wheel with a mini tub with that setup. There are several newer Torque Arm options that are popping up from BMR, Jakes, Speed Tech. The G-bar/Prodigy Bar has been a popular offering.

The new torque arm setups are pretty impressive. Some are bolt-ins which is nice if you don't want to cut the car up too much. Quadralink is a good option as well. Either style will let you drive it on the street and track it as well.

Available with ShockWaves or coilovers...http://www.ridetech.com/store/suspen...ar-system.html

Bolt in [or you can weld it in if you like] under the oem floorpan. It will clear the DSE minitubs.

Thanks for some of the ideas as far as installing a setup that requires alot of fab work and welding I dont mind cause autobody/fab is what I do by trade but i have been checking out the set up from ridetech looks like its a pretty easy install to.

We installed a quadralink in a 79 Formula and ride and control is very comparable to a c6 corvette. 335 will fit, but run slightly more backspace than a camaro. due to different quarter shapes. I would suggest swapping the rear out since you mentioned running it hard to a more durable setup than the stock bop 10 bolt rear.

If I ever do another F-body, this is what I want to go with. Sweet setup.

I went with the ride tech 4-link I think its a great product!! also it clears the 335 tire without cutting the front pocket, they have the off set front bars that let you do this
