Default Chances of making a 515ish rwhp car to hook on the street?

I was just wondering if anybody has done it really. I'm hoping I can maybe get my car to hook up decently, the converter should be pretty tight being its setup for nitrous.


I'm going to do a minitub w/ a MWC fab 9 narrowed 3" and all madman rear stuff, already have all bmr up front w/ qa1s up front.

btw I don't street race... I don't deal well with people with smart mouths... i have a short temper

My car hooks on the street. Your setup definitely will. As for not street racing because of smart mouths and a short temper, sounds like you need better car guys around your area...

I don't believe our torque arm will mount to the MWC rear. I can get you a Racecraft rear end that will work with our torque arm:

Just a little food for thought.

MWC includes their torque arm with the purchase of a 9" FYI.

EDIT: Not trying to take away from your business Steve, just informing him.

If you spry on the street, put the Nitrous on a push button. I am assuming your 516ish is based on a 100 shot and the car runs about 400ish on nut?

Eff all that, I run mine on the window switch, and have no problems.

You can do that too but what you do NOT have is real control over the kit and depending on conditions having a push button is the right thing to have, at least ONE of the possible 2-3 kits a car could have.....

I only run 1 kit. And considering I already have enough to worry about being a 6 speed and all, I don't need another button to push. And my car hooks pretty well on the street.

I mean thats good for you. But unfortunately we all do not live in a generally warmer client, when pavement temps go down, traction becomes very limited. So like said you build you car to suit your needs.

I am fortunate to live here, aside from the fact that altitude rapes N/A cars
But, it DOES get cold here, believe it or not. With that being said, simplest is best, if you can make it hook on a simple setup, I'd try that first. My car is in dire need of coilovers and a rear swaybar. I am on bone stock suspension. I am sure my car could hook even better.
