just wondering are you wanting to street race your car?? or are you just street driving? obviously wider tires with a softer compound (street tires wont cut it ) Air Pressure is HUGE ! and you want a looser suspension, meaning weight transfer, Calvert adjustable shocks are Great for up front, remember theirs a lot that go's into tuning your suspension (time and $$) as they say at the street races.
That should help a lot!! lol but....I never have liked adding weight to help with traction or slow a car down for an index etc. Just too many other ways to make adjustments to slow a car down. Heck, to slow the hit down it could be done with electronics and a throttle positioner.....? How bout a timing retard that's set for a couple of seconds. Mat it and and the timing goes retard for a set period of time. With all the electronic stuff available these days, there's got to be a way to do this besides doing something mechanical. Look at all the cars in the Super classes that go flat right off the line then go like gang busters after a couple of seconds. I hate that crap in racing but something like this could be used on the street with a delay box and throttle stop and adjust it to react as soon as you mat the throttle. ???
Yup, what's your main use for the car going to be. Street manners will get worse if you set it up for the track but that depends on how you like it to act. Sticky tires, loose front shocks (90/10's are not that street friendly) and maybe even low profile traction bars. I rather used those than a pinion snubber but the majority of Mopar 'purists' shun them. And with 500 HP, welded in frame connectors should be your first priority.....

like rumbelfish360 mentioned above US Car Tool makes a nice laser cut weld in type frame connectors made to fallow the contour of your cars floor pan and it's the same one i installed on my 65 Plymouth, remember to take the carpet out so you dont have a interior fire i took my car to the muffler shop and had them weld it in for me, also all for wheels MUST BE ON THE GROUND OR ON THE LIFT, ABSOLULY NO TWO POST LIFT"S, (and car doors must be shut closed) this will cause your car to flex, Also your going to notice a considerable difference after you weld them in, the car will feel stiffer trust me a major plus.Well, frame connectors first it is then... Can u recommend some?
I have a pinion snubber that's been repainted with rubber pad on it, but don't know much about that stuff...
I definitely want my ride to work well on the street like light highway and the occasional street race. I don't want to just spin out though...
I know the tires I have on are part of it just smoking up immediately, but I am wanting to reinforce what I can and then do some changes that won't mess up the overall drivability, that will help me hook a bit better at least...
I don't wanna twist my ride, or wrap my rear end, but I do want to hook better...
I do not want to sacrifice too much cruiseability though
BADASS CAR HT413 !!
