I would install QA1 shocks all the way around and 30-9 hoosier "radial" slick. there was a big buick at MIR last year running low tens with a similar set up.

It depends on how much power you are putting to the ground. A slapper bar set up seems to work quite good down to low-mid tens.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
