low 12s on motor, low 11 high 10s on gas if you can drive and hook. stock LCA are gonna hurt. bad.

 

[shawnaj7731]

yea i figured that. I wont be able to do them until next week though but wanted to get a ball park figure for now. What control arms what you guys recommend.

 

[Wade95]

Track temp? Weather? That is gonna be a factor as well.

I say low to mid 12's on motor and high 11's on N2O.

depends how deep your pockets are. anything is better than stock. if you want the best, go with maximum motorsports.

Depends on what kinda useage your car will see. If you're doing all straight-line, just about anything with poly (except Granatelli (sp?)) will do just fine, and if you've got the torque boxes beefed up, maybe spring for some hardcore lift bars - UPR, Hotchkis, MM, Lakewood, etc. If you're hardcore about corners (or even just like to really carve a few, now and then), you'll probably want to look for something with spherical bushings, in which case MM is about the only way to go (pricey, but worth it).

As far as guessing times ... it's all in the driver. If I were behind the wheel, I wouldn't get any better than 13's with it; with anyone else, subtract a second or two from the E/T.

well ran it on the motor only and ran some 12.4s more consistant was 12.52 and 12.48s what I was running for the most part. ran 12 times in 1.5 hour time really did give the car any rest. My 60ft were bad 1.8 every time. It was bogging off the line too. We are going to had t-rex and a 190lph tomorrow and spray it at the tt this weekend should be in the low 11s hopefully. My traps speed was the same every time almost around 108 or 107

 

[grey5.0beast]

that trap is very good, you can cut some high 1.6s-low 1.7s 60ft and you should see some low low 12s- high 11s on motor. Nice times though!!

Good starting point, but definately needs more mph. 107-108 isnt bad, but for the mods, seems low. Look for 110+ in it, and tweak it until you find that (my opinion).
