1967 coronet restomod/pro touring build

Been thinking as I'm installing my triangulated 4 link, my motor is going to make more power than originally planned, is there any modifications I can make to the 4 link to help with launch when drag racing? I was thinking possibly adding a second set of parallel links from the cross bar betwee the rails to the axle, I have an extra set of tabs I could weld onto my housing and cross bar. I will be adding a sway bar so that should help I just don't know if it'll be enough. Anyone have any ideas or comments. Thanks
 
I am no expert in the 4 link area but would a diagonal track bar be helpful?

I was told to install an anti roll bar, a member here is running the street lynx with comp engineering anti roll bar in a 4100lb super bee 745hp turning 10.50's. I think this is the route I'm going to go. I don't really feel like trying to sell this unit and waiting for something like the magnum force to get delivered. My motor and trans will be here soon I need to get moving on this thing. I watched his videos on YouTube and his car launches straight as an arrow. He says bill Reilly told him to switch to a solid rod end but he hasn't yet, seems to be working for him.

Finally got to get in and work in the car last night, got the s60 installed and 4 link suspension, just have to weld 2 tabs to the housing for the upper links (ran out of gas for the welder) happy we made some good progress on the car yesterday. We took the car off jack stands and wheeled the lift under her to do the install, just so happens and old office chair works as a perfect cradle for the rearend while positioning it :lol:

Ordered a spool of 3/16 nicop alloy brake line and a wilwood proportioning valve, going to do some plumbing this weekend.
 
Love your rim choice, SHARP!

Lots of progress since I last looked, look great!

Thanks, Incase anyone is interested in wheels or ANYTHING from billet specialties let me know exactly what your looking for and I can get it cheaper and faster than ordering online. Placed order for my wheels Friday afternoon hand delivered to my work Monday morning. Price on my wheels on the web was 699 without shipping I had them delivered for 550.
 
Got my wheel spacers today but and my proportioning valve. Thinking I could've gone with a thinner spacer so I might actually send these back and get .25"

Got a new welder made a few passes getting it dialed in, boy what a difference a good machine makes, went from a little tabletop Lincoln welder to a miller magic 210 and now I can lay a decent bead. Also picked up a miller bobcat with an 11000w generator, man that's a nice piece.
