A Watts will keep the rear centered thru range of motion, while a Panhard will shift the rear to one side, that can cause the rear to "steer" the rear end.

Here is a good read on what a panhard bar is used for. It explains how it can be used to adjust body roll for better traction.

Are you going to use the electric PS of the HHR or run a pump to the Camaro steering box or just go manual box?

Yeah I'll have to do some research on everything. I'm using the camaro steering box. Since im using a gen 1 sbc lines will be plug and play. The jeep shaft upgrade seems like it's gonna be the ticket. I need extra length and I think it's my best option.

The sound track is more leaning to on the fly wedge adjustment, which in my opinion is poor.
Come into the pit and let the people from over the wall crank it in if need be.
That's what stock car racing is about.
It all started to go down hill when speed limit was 50 mph.
Then it was red light, green light to enter.
Now you have mandatory pit windows.
The day's of big blocks along with run hard and fast are done.
