Not that it is a full replacement for the ALK and control arms, but a set of camber plates, and the right sway bars can help. Did you do coilovers, or just springs?

The problem I have is that it will take a significant investment to make the Stealth more competitive in SM. Primarily, I would need to get the HP up from 350 or so to about 450-500. This means fuel pump, injectors, turbos, FMIC, and ECU. Oh, and only if the bottom end can take it which at 140K+ miles is questionable.

And even with that I am still stuck with the damn highly geared touring car transmission that will do 75Mph in 2nd! The other problem is the limited number of options for the stealth and their cost due to lack of competition.

Thus the possible move to the Rex and STX. Lots of suppliers, and less investment to be competitive.

My concern is the used BPM exhaust I have sitting in the garage has the CAT under the car in spot #3, not the downpipe, spot #2. I guess I have to go in search of the ultimate answer on this. I really need an answer so I can trade exhausts if necessary before I put it on along with the headers and up-pipe lying in my entry hall.

the other thing I noticed is he is running 225/45s instead of 245/40s...

Anybody got any idea why on that?
