    Check out the suspension forum at www.dragstuff.com. Chassis Guru Dave Morgan is the moderator there, and several guys are building and racing Nova bodied cars, so they have alot of info about tire size and suspension mods for the late 60's-early 70's X-body cars. I would tell him to lose the slapper bars and go with a Cal-trac type suspension if he wants the car to hook better and still be able to drive it on the street.
