Car is getting tuned locally by a friend whose really good diesel tuner branching into ls motors couldn't beat the price I'm basically letting him tune me for free so he gains experience.

Right now just long tubes and cold air intake.

By lower control arms your talking about the rear lca's who makes a good set?

Was looking at getting the suspension pieces from PFADT. But I only see the rear trailing arm and tie rods
And the solid rear subframe bushings.

You mention Lower control arms (LCA) but have no lower control arm mods.... So that's why I asked atleast not that I'm seeing. Unless your talking about the trailing srms

You best bet is to go on the 1/4 mike list and find the faster cars in the category you want to keep your car in and pm them for help

1.6 60ft on 20” drs With 100% factory suspension, axles and shaft.
