Replying to my own post! I have had a look at the calculators on Richard Hudgins' JBL website, so I know I'll have to make compensations for the spring mounting angle, control arm to inner pivot ratio etc, but I'm really interested in the "desired ball joint rate" as mentioned in those calculations. From that number I can choose my springs with confidence. I suppose my weight over the front wheels is similar to a big block. I have a 351W with the added weight of a Vortech supercharger and an air to air intercooler.
