Chassi builders?

Please I understand fully that it'd be best to have a know shop do it but I don't want to wait who knows how long to have it done. Drag racing is a dream of mine and I'm so close to it being a reality but with recent health issues I'm afraid I don't have much longer

I've done as much research as possible on building a no-prep chassi as I can but no one wants to give up any secrets and I can see why but I could really use some help.

The cars a 2010 camaro big tire no prep/ no time twin turbo ls with th400. Chassi will be a 25.2/3 from the factory firewall back.

The car will be 3D scanned and chassi designed in CAD using Bend Tech.

Questions????

Best 4 link bar length with rod ends.

How wide should the frame rails be starting at the trans tunnel and then what should tapper to at the 4-link brackets.

When doing a pro mod style ( Christmas tree) rear section whats the typical rear Frame rail width with 36in tires. Also does it matter how high or low it is built since the anti roll bar and shocks are mounted off of that if so whats the typical measurement are how do I get that measurement.

Also what does everyone mean when the say to set everything back in a no prep car. I know to set the engine back and keep the weight behind the front wheels as much as possible but what about the chassi from the firewall back.

Thanks for any and all input its greatly appreciated and if this works there will be a cad file for others wanting to build a car like this.

This is why you take it to a known chassis builder. You're paying to take the guess work out of it.

I've personally tried multiple bar angles and ic points. The longer the 4 link bars the better.

People move the engine down and back as far as possible for weight bias and to lower the cars center of gravity.
