awsome guys thanks, what id really like to do is hit a super high 10, like 10.999999 haha this is my daily driver and i want a good suspension for both handling and strip. i was going to use koni yellows and strano springs with a 12 bolt and 373 or 390 gears. and pretty much the full umi set up, any suggestions on what is nessecary and what is over kill as far as adjustment for panhard, control arms, roto joints ect. ?

and if i need more power to do that i was thinking fast 90 and set of afr 215cc heads

Might want to think about another set of valvesprings. Comp 918s aren't going to do a very good job of controlling the valves with that much lift and duration.

onesicss

yea i thought about that actually, comp says they are good to 650 lift but they also said they have the inner springs separate to upgrade the 918s..... so i dont know what im going to do but as for now i just want to get it all put on and tuned then take it from there and let the dyno tell me what im missing wether it be air, fuel, or fire. BTW longshot nice car mine looks just like yours but i painted the hood scoop on mine black.

sorry guys ill take all the coaching on this ull give me, i used to do hondas.... my honda ran 11.8 all motor but with a hell of a lot more money invested... A LOT more

onesicss

anymore advice would be great guys as far as suspension, pully upgrades, gears, 12 bolt or 9 inch pros and cons. just trying to buy stuff once instead of buying and then not being happy with it and having to replace it. thanks all

ok, I assume you have a 6 speed cause you say your building the car for handling as well? so 1st upgrade to do is a 9" they are nearly the same price wise as a 12bolt but a little stronger so go with the 9inch. (otherwise a DR or slick will easily give you a ride home on the wrecker if your not carefull on a 10bolt unless you gota auto like me ), and gears (I would say go with a 4.11 but since its your daily a 3.90 is ok, but your big cam would love a higher gear, so it depends on how much highway driving you do). After that get a nice tall slick to cusion a good hard launch. atleast a 28"slick on a 15" rim(with 7.5" BS to clear LS1 brakes ofcourse). I went 12.10@111 on just external bolt-ons, your car should do 116+mph in good air, if you have a good tuner and your not fat? So with a good 1.6x launch I would think a low 11 should be easy. spray a 100 shot and go mid to low 10's if you really wana go fast cheap. Those 918's are perfect for that cam. the cam lobes don't have a high ramp rate and as such doesnt really need dual's, just single's that are good for a high .650 lift. As for springs/shocks. I'm on completely stock suspension and pull off mid 1.6x 60' times consistantly as long as the track is atleast clean. Make sure to get adjustable shocks so you can set them up for how you want the car to act. Basically you definantly have the parts to make the power but you need to build the car to launch now.

yes car is a m6, nope not fat.... a whooping 125 pounds soaking wet. have alot of experience on the track just never done v8 or rear wheel cars just awd and fwd.

I was actually thinking 12 bolt... idk y really. i was told it was lighter than 9 but i havnt researched that yet... any pros to 12 bolt over 9?

my best 60 in my all motor honda was 1.6 flat so im hoping i can actually best that with this car and being rwd?

i would ditch the 918 springs ,there have been alot of motors damaged by broken 918s

onesicss

yea i havnt made up my mind on that, comp says their fine and thats why they put them in the kit with that cam (cam, pushrods, springs all came in kit from comp), and i hear they are perfect from half the people and too weak from the other half....... i am planning on reving the motor to 7000-7200 IF the cam and intake make power that high (which is why i bought the arp rod bolts)

The people that work at comp's answer desk are idiots. You should have a good double spring on there.

u def have the power, i went 12.2 bolt-ons with stall and gears. bieng an M6 guy, and wanting low 11s, high 10s, i would def go with the 9inch over the twelve bolt, the added insurance will be nice(more strength over 12 bolt), and for teh same reason i would upgrade those spings to duals, half saying u need better springs should be enough to convince u, atleast it would me, i went with duals and im runnin an f13 cam, 595/585 lift, or somethin like that, cant remember. Anyway good luck and keep us posted on choices and times!

x2... no beehive can control the valve events that the cam will produce at that kind of rpm.

onesicss

well sounds like doubles it is! anyone want some bee hives haha

onesicss

one more thing guys, i was looking at springs and i do NOT want to do ANY machining to make them fit. any suggestions besides the comp 921

ryarbrough

iTrader: (18)

I've got as set of PRC springs. Check out TSP for them. 921's are good also

thanks ryarbrough
