I rarely go to the track, so far only once a year, BUT I would like to go and run my car more often (test and tune night) and maybe some informal grudge racing. I really want to build a 5xx cu in 6xxHP/6xxTQ stroker motor when I can afford it. I mostly go to cruise ins and car shows, but as I said, especially after the stroker motor is reality, I will likely go to the track more often, but not for a formal competition...
I was pretty sure I was going the route of CalTracks for improved traction and performance, and I still have some basic, simple improvements I can make to the stock suspension (shocks, loosen/remove the front sway bar, etc). The CalTracks, HD spring perches, and US Car Tools spring relocation kit (for future track only wider slicks-for now my 315/35/17 Toyo Proxes TQ drag radials for everyday work nice) would cost about $980 with the same Viking double adjustable rear shocks. The Street Lynx kit which would also give me more clearance for wider tires and includes the same shocks is double that price. I am inclined to go with the Street Lynx as they seem to be significantly better, and I only want to mod the rear once. I understand that the CalTracks are sufficient for many who go faster than I ever expect to, but if I do something for the rear suspension, I have no problem going with a much "better" system given the difference in cost.
