Setup for high hp/torque
Hey every1,
I have my mods all planned out which include a 520ci big block Ford racing engine. Producing 625hp and 600 torque, what suspension setup would get this power to the ground? I was looking at the Maximum Motorsports grip in a box kit. Would this be sufficient for the amount of power on an 89 coupe?
Thanks

What is the use of the car?
Which MM box kit were you looking at? If your looking at a torque arm kit, you will definetly need the heavy duty torque arm.
With that engine up front be careful which springs you choose. I would suspect a 520 weighs a lot more than a 302.

Well it's just my toy car and I believe in going big or go home. 
The 520 roughly weighs 540lbs compared to a 302 which weighs roughly 420.
I was looking a MM's grip in a box kit which comes with everything you could need from torque boxes to a strut tower.
I just want to build one friggin beast but the 520 rings in at $8000us and the full MM kit is about $6000cdn :cry2:
so it's not an immediate change....

Are you road racing, drag racing, or building it for the street?
