suggestions on set up

I have an 86 na shell with a Chevy 350 in it, bored. 030 over, mild cam, tunnel ram with single 600 cfm edelbrock. Headers with a 2.5 exhaust true duels. Automatic 700r4 tranny. Shift kit, Corvette servo, z packed 1,2,3,4 with a 2500 stahl. I want a good autocross/ street machine. Any suggestions on suspension and tire and wheels?

Autocross? Get rid of the slush box. Put some good coilovers on it and adjust the suspension until its right for you. Tires i recommend are Falken Azenis or Nexen N9000 series.

Never mind I'm assuming a better oil pan or sump system. Makes sense.

Automatic.

They are NOT for corners. They can't always pick the optimal gear. They are GREAT for 1/4 miles, seeing as They have this odd tendency to be consistent... Lol

16s are probably the BEST way to go. That has more tire options thAn any other sized wheel.
