LS Powered Chevy Monte Carlo An AWESOME Street / Strip / AutoX Cross car!

Most folks when they think of the GM G Body platform these days immediately assume it's going to be a small tire / no prep drag car. There's a reason for that! This platform has grown my leaps and bounds over the last several years as a contender in the GM world against the likes of the fox body mustang. But this isn't that kind of G Body, this one is built for all sorts of racing and shenanigans!
When it comes to suspension setup what you really want to understand is how exactly the vehicle is going to be used. Are you looking for straight line stability at high speeds? Corner carving? Is this something that's going to be seeing a lot of braking and low speed turns? Is it a street car looking for a combination of traction and tire wear? Is it some combination of all of these?
Let's get to work on this awesome LS powered Chevy Monte Carlo and get the suspension dialed in!

This is my car!! Shifter is a Kilduff shifter. Exhaust is the full Hooker Blackheart kit with motor mounts, trans crossmember, 3 in long tube headers, 3 in x pipe and glass pack mufflers. Car feels much better, very happy with it. Haven't put down any times yet since I got it back to compare but definitely feels straighter/more stable. Thanks again !!

I ,watched a grand am stock v6 turbo, turning 7 s on the back wheels at LACR in palmDale California, in the 80 s , crazy fast, like a 175 mph,,,this car should do low7 s , if it’s turbo that would be good ,but never with a v8 , LS , 672 big block might get it in the 6 sec passes, great car here, thanks BigAl California

Well, I tuned in for a dose of compressor noise but all I got was more education on suspension alignment. GG! When I take my 66 Corvair to the local shop for alignment they recoil in horror saying we don't work on old cars. I said I have rebuilt all the suspension and there are no old rusty frozen bolts. We don't do old cars cause it ain't in the computer. I said I have the numbers I want. We can't do custom work.... I do my own alignment with a Quick Strings kit and it's usually close enough but I still like to see what the machine says. I took it to a new shop but as I watched the guy struggle I knew it was not gonna be right. Also his alignment heads attached to the tire not the rims. I have encountered some shops who's heads would not attach to a 13" rim. I have found an older shop that has an "older" guy with older equipment who actually knows something. I learn a lot watching you. Who says ya can't teach an old man new tricks!
