If you check with the road racing and autox guys, they are actually using decoupled TQ arms (http://unbalancedengineering.com/Camaro/TA/) that improve anti squat without sacrificing braking and safety. If you're interested in all around better performance, my suggestion would be a UMI relocation kit to take the mounting point off the trans and a stock length tubular TQ arm. The UMI piece also has several mounting points to help you adjust pinion angle if you lower the suspension.
it will be an all-around car. I want as much handeling as HP. It will see some strip use (mostly f'in around on the weekends), but mostly a cruzer.

the relocation bracket and stock lenght arm; will they clear headers and the associated y-pipe setup (probably KOOKS)?
