Hi Rick and all
Thanks for the quick response. A little history on my car.
Balance 48/52
Rear wheel weights are with driver
Engine fairly mild 351w Guessing at 350 flywheel HP Not sure of torque
Front Wheels 26x10x15 Rear wheels 28x12x15 MT S/R. 3:31 rear ratio. Top loader transmission. Hope to soon swap out MGB front end for "Fast Cars" complete front end. This will save 80 lbs on front of car, plus addresses the problems of bumpsteer, and ackerman and gives total adjustment to camber, and caster. I am going to QA 1 proma stars replacing Bilsteins (cannot determine spring rates) on the rear end. I am familiar with the difference between race and street suspension (I hold SCCA and TCRA competition license) and have competed in GT1. I am looking for a firm but not harsh ride, and am willing to change set-ups if and when I track the car (not comfortable racing without a full cage however).

Thanks
Leo
