Should I raise the rear as well? I want to increase my confidence and skills driving this beast as well as having a good time. Oh, what about somehow limiting the throttle so I don't have to worry about managing the gas pedal? Not sure I need 500+ HP on a small autocross circuit! Again, I don't mean to steal TimeForACobra's thread, just have similar questions and hope you don't mind.
You could go with a throttle stop setup from Jegs or Summit to limit full throttle, or plate reducer on carb base.
As for raisng the front vs alignment depends how much you raise it. I raised mine about 3/4 of an inch and no issues with alignment and the oil pan doesn't scrape on the roads anymore.
